Sister Joan Companick died in 1986, was a former teacher in both the Social Science and Foreign Language Departments. There are scholarships in her honor at both Holy Cross High School and Bishop Eustace High School. In addition, Holy Cross has an annual golf tournament in her name. I contacted Holy Cross for information on her death and its Development Director, Beth Coyle, was kind enough to send me the school's brochure on the Sister Joan Companick Scholarship Fund. The following information was copied directly from that brochure:
Sister Joan Companick was born and educated
in Trenton, New Jersey. A natural athlete, she played every sport open to girls
in the 1950’s while maintaining a high academic record at Cathedral High School,
Trenton.
In 1953 she entered the Sisters of Mercy in North Plainfield
and was assigned to teach in grammar schools in Collingswood and later Atlantic
City. She was sent to Phillipsburg Catholic High School in 1965 where she
returned to sports as a basketball coach. In 1968 Sister was assigned to Camden
Catholic High School. Sister turned to officiating basketball, hockey, softball
and lacrosse.
Sister Joan saw a need for organized sports programs for
students of grammar school age and in CYO groups. She worked tirelessly to
ensure that girls in all levels were given opportunities and recognition for
their successes.
In 1981 Sister Joan began a battle with cancer. Forced to
give up teaching for a year, she returned as Guidance Counselor at Holy Cross
High School in 1983. With characteristic enthusiasm and remarkable energy, she
quickly got involved in all aspects of the school, directly supporting,
encouraging and being a friend to all. Sister became Guidance Director in 1984.
Her death in 1986 cut short a life of dedicated service, but
she is remembered by all who were privileged to know her and know about her.
