Miss Dufficy Dies in Marin
Veronica Anita Dufficy, 52, dean of girls at San Rafael High School for the past five years and a member of the faculty for thirty-one years, died at the Ross General Hospital yesterday. She had been stricken with a heart attack late Wednesday night, and failed to rally.
In the many years Miss Dufficy served on the high school faculty she did not miss a single day’s attendance. Daughter of the late Justice of the Peace M. C. and Mrs. Dufficy, Marin county pioneers, she was graduated from the University of California in 1898, embarking on her early teaching career in Fresno.
She is survived by five sisters, Mrs. Mary D. Tormey, Sister M. Michael, Mrs. W. P. Barry, Mrs. Alicia D. Friedlander and Mrs. Horatio Muzzy, and by three brothers, Dr. George W. Dufficy, Charles M. Dufficy and Dr. Rafael Dufficy.
A requiem mass will be said at St. Rafael’s Church in San Rafael at 9 o’clock Monday morning.
