The Honor Guard was established after the unexpected passing of Ann O’ Flaherty RN at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center. Ann O’Flaherty was struck and killed in a tragic accident on December 15, 2021. Ann was a nurse for over 30 years at “St. Elizabeth’s Hospital”. In her memory we call our honor guard “Ann O’s Watch”.
