Three memorial services were held in Phnom Penh for Maryknoll Sister Joyce Ann Quinn who died 4 August 2000. The first was at the community health center in Boeung Pun Tum where Joyce worked. The second was held at the Khmer church in Phnom Penh for the Khmer-speaking community. This third one was at the regular Saturday evening liturgy of the English-speaking international Catholic community.
