What's Up With Jim and Joan Hartnett

Jim Hartnett married Joan Loughran Hartnett and have been happily married for 43 years. Jim went to Stonehill College and served in the Coast Guard during the Vietnam War . He worked for the Commonwealth of  Mass for his entire career. Joan graduated from Quincy City Hospital School of Nursing and became an RN. 

We have 4 beautiful, successful daughters who are also AWHS alumni. They all live close by , are happily married and who provide us with so much joy every day. We have 4 terrific Son in Laws and 13 incredible grandchildren with one more on the way, due anyday.Our life has been full and blessed by God.

We have traveled extensively including Europe, Alaska, Canada and many other beautiful islands and places. We plan on many more exciting trips in the future. After traveling cross country several times we are constantly reminded  how lucky we are to live here and how beautiful and diverse this country is.

We still enjoy many relationships we made at AWHS, we love kayaking, mini trips with the grandchildren to places like New Hampshire, Maine, Niagra Falls, Notre Dame and boat trips and train rides into Boston to see the Swans. Joan still loves to do photography and biking.

Our family is our life and we are very content. Thank you Sisters of Charity of Nazareth for helping to lay the foundation of our spiritual life which we continue to pass on to the next generation.

Love Jim and Joan  .
