My deepest sympathies on the loss of Ann. She was a beautiful person and a wonderful colleague. She always went the extra mile to help at the college, and her enthusiasm and drive were personally very inspiring to me.  She always had a smile and a kind word for people, and her heartfelt dedication to her work and to her family was demonstrated so amazingly well through her day to day actions.  She will be greatly missed.

To the Family and Friends of Ann McCarte:

I recently learned that the flower arrangement our organization ordered for Ann's funeral service did not arrive, but am glad to know I am able to express condolences through this message.

Employment Solutions is a nonprofit organization in Lexington where Ann was assigned by her former employer, Bluegrass Community and Technical College, to oversee an adult education program in our immediate neighborhood to assist high school dropouts attain their GEDs.

You should know that Ann was very dedicated teacher who had an enormously positive impact upon many people and their families.   She was a committed professional who possessed a gift for teaching.   Through both pushing and cajoling,  Ann's  students ( the overwhelming majority of which had never previously experienced academic success), were enabled to understand concepts of reading, math and writing that afforded them  a much better understanding of their world, as well as themselves.

As a consequence of Ann's dedication, her students attained the very highest levels of success from among all the many other adult education programs in Lexington.

Ann was not only a fighter in the classroom, but also fiercely battled her cancer and was most determined to remain productive for as long as possible.
  
Ann will be missed and the educational legacy she left behind in our neighborhood will reverberate for many generations.  

With deepest sympathy

My dear friend I will miss you deeply.  I was so honored the day you brought your son Daniel to meet me at the dental office.  Special people come into our lives. I am so glad you walk into mine.  I will always remember you until I meet you again my friend.

Hi Daniel - I'm thinking of you and your family at this sad time.  I always enjoyed your Mom. Whether I saw her at school or at the Talbots outlet she was always full of fun and enthusiasm.   Take care of yourself - Jean Watts

My prayers are with Ann's family.  I am grieving the loss of a colleague, a friend, and an inspiration.  I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to get to know Ann, and will miss her.  She always put her students first, and kept giving her best to them even toward the end.  She truly was an inspiration to all who knew her.

It is trite to say that she was one of the good ones, but I don't know who could deny it. She touched countless lives with her exuberance, compassion, and kindness. I know I am a better person for having known her. The world is a bit dimmer for having lodt her light. We will miss you, Ann. Rest in peace.

Knowing Ann made me know the depth and breadth of commitment and courage.  Her students benefited from her love and energy.  The BCTC family will miss you.

I miss you. Rest in peace. I'm glad I got to spend time with you the past few years. It was an honor to help you navigate this part of your journey.

May God bless the family with many happy memories of Ann and may those memories bring comfort to all who love her. My prayers are extended for her family and friends as they deal with their loss of a loved one.

Professor Ann, You were always so dedicated to your students and such a wonderful colleague.  I will miss you, your students will miss you, and BCTC will miss you!  Your great work as an educator has touched so many and will live on forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with Ann's family.  Ann was courageous in the face of great odds.  I also appreciated how passionate she was about the success of her students.  She will be greatly missed.

Ms. Ann, I am sending you a hug from afar.  You will be missed.
Rest in peace.

A woman with such great character and passion for others. May she rest in peace. My prayers are with this family during this time.

Words can't embody all our friendship was and all you meant to me, Ann, from being band moms together, to "academics," to the friendly (and uncensored!) commiserating that always had us cracking up in the end... Your legacy lives on in your beautiful kiddos and in all the lives you touched with your humor, courage and sincerity. I'll miss you, my friend. 
Love and condolences to all the McCarte kids.  ~Nancy (Dixon) Dreher

Always ran into Ann at the copier at work.  She had a lively spirit.  One of the last things she and I talked about was her going to get a blonde wig.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family.  Ms. Ann was such a beautiful spirit inside and out.  She fought with so much courage and dignity.  She will be truly missed but I'm glad she will no longer suffer.

Ann, the most dynamic and courageous woman I have ever known.
You have impacted my life forever.
I miss you.

As one of Ann's coworkers, I was deeply touched by the brave battle she waged with this terrible disease. I want to extend my deepest sympathies to her family at this most difficult time.

Ann, you will always remain alive in my heart.  I will never forget your firey personality, your concern and care for animals and your dedication to your students.

I was always impressed with Ann's passion for helping others. I saw her work in an after school program with children who desperately needed structure and encouragement. She was also part of a special project to help area farmers learn computer skills. She helped so many people - made an impact on so many lives. Her dedication, enthusiasm, ready smile and sense of humor will be missed.

Ann touched many lives and will be missed by her coworkers and especially her students.  RIP, Ann.

I know you fought a long battle.  Even through that, your humor was evident.  May your family find comfort as this time.
Patricia Tatro - BCTC Adult Ed. co-instructor

Your courage in the face of a terrible illness is an inspiration to us all. Sandra Carey BCTC

To my dear beloved Ann, I will miss you so much. You illuminated my dear. I will miss you every day of my life. Steven White
