Comments of the Sisters who have lived with her in recent years describe her as a delightful, gracious woman, a gifted artist, a beloved teacher who loved all things beautiful. Her appreciation and love of things beautiful flowed naturally from her own artistic ability. This giftedness was passed on to many students that received individual art lessons from her. She nurtured in them the same delicate approach to the beauties of nature that were so much a part of her own gentle personality.
Being the ninth of ten children helped form her spirit of generosity and willingness to share herself, her talents, her time and her ideas. Sister, an avid reader, kept her mind active and alert through books, particularly biographies that were her favorite. Information gleaned from this wonderful hobby enriched her life and the lives of those around her.
She had two sisters who were Sisters of the Holy Cross: Sister Lillian Therese and Sister Eleanor Francis, and these devoted religious no doubt influenced her decision to follow them into religious life.
