PLANNED GIVING
Leaving a Legacy F
or Amy Stakich Nageotte ’82, her life-long connection to Magnificat almost didn’t happen. After transferring during her sophomore year, she found it difficult to make friends and adjust to a new school environment, and so her mom set an appointment with Sr. Carol Anne Smith, HM '66L.
“I don’t even remember exactly what she did, but she helped me calm down and realize it would take time to make the adjustment. After that, she would call me into her office just to check on me, and sure enough, second semester I found friends who have been life-long friends even 40 years later.” After graduating from the University of Dayton with an electrical engineering degree, Amy worked for Hewlett Packard and received her M.B.A. from Case Western Reserve University. She and her husband Dan, a graduate of St. Ignatius High School, then had two daughters who also attended Magnificat, during which time Amy was thrilled to reconnect with Sr. Carol Anne Smith who had returned to Magnificat as President. Ali ’14 received a degree in personal finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Maggie ’16 graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from Northwestern University.
