The Wellesley College Alumnae Association was deeply saddened by the unexpected death of WCAA board member Janet McCaa ’64 on June 5. Janet brought her great enthusiasm and love of all things Wellesley to her board work, as well as to her class and local alumnae club. A 2014 recipient of the WCAA’s Syrena Stackpole Award, she had held numerous offices for her class, including president, vice president, and special-gifts chair. She also served as president and vice president of both the Western Maine Wellesley Club and the Washington Wellesley Club, and oversaw 100th anniversary celebrations with both groups. “As saddened as the WCAA board is by Janet’s passing,” says Alumnae Association President Georgia Murphy Johnson ’75, “we all took comfort in knowing how deeply connected Janet felt to Wellesley, and how very much she loved serving her alma mater, in every way.”
A longer tribute will appear in the fall ’16 magazine.
