HUBBS, MARY LOUISE

September 21, 2020 4 Condolences

Mary Louise Hubbs 2 scaled

Mary Louise Hubbs passed peacefully on September 15, 2020. She was born on October 2, 1935 in Phoenix, Arizona. Mary was the youngest of eight children. As a “rare native” of Arizona, Mary graduated from Xavier College Preparatory. After high school, she entered the convent to serve the Lord. During that time, Mary began teaching and spent much of her career at St. Thomas the Apostle School in Phoenix. She was known by her students as one of the toughest teachers at the beginning of the school year but by the end of the year would become one of those favorite teachers who had a special place in her students’ hearts. Throughout her many years in education, she touched countless lives and shaped numerous young minds. Mary also had a deep love of animals. She believed strongly that animals were God’s angels here on Earth and was a supporter of the Arizona Humane Society.

Mary has touched the lives of so many and will forever be missed. May she rest in eternal peace.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks that you make a donation to the Arizona Humane Society or your local animal shelter.

Visitation will be held on Friday, September 25, 2020 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. with the Saying of the Rosary at 6:00 p.m. at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 East Indian Road, Phoenix, Arizona.
Mass will be celebrated at St. Francis Xavier Church on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow at St. Francis Cemetery. Reception in Anderson Hall at St. Francis Xavier Church. Condolences and Hugs from Home may be expressed at www.whitneymurphyfuneralhome.com.

    I was lucky enough to have Miss Hubbs at STA back in the early 90s. She was a great teacher and clearly cared about our success. Your family is in my prayers.

    The obituary comments on the teaching skills of Miss Hubbs are very accurate. She was somehow able to put up with three Stevens boys and they turned out pretty well. Good teachers leave a lasting impression. With sympathy-

    I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I will echo what was written and said, tough exterior but once you got to know her she was awesome. One of my favorite teachers. My condolences to her family
