In Memoriam

Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.

Sister Dorothy Hunt, SSND Jan. 21, 1922 – Oct. 24, 2018
Dorothy began what she called “her little musical training” when Santa Claus brought a piano to the Hunt home.  She had piano lessons from the age of ten and took voice lessons during high school years.
Sister Margaret Ann (Peggy) Smith, SSND

Margaret Ann Smith was born to Patrick Joseph Smith and Mary Theresa McGuire on November 15, 1935, in Manhattan, New York. Her parents were from County Longford, Ireland and Woodford, County Galway, respectively.

Sister Cecilia died on August 25, 2018 at the age of 92. She was in her 72nd year as a School Sister of Notre Dame.

In death, we say our ultimate human yes to God. Trusting in God’s power to bring us to the fullness of life, we conclude our earthly life with an act of worship: in the action of death we proclaim God as God, and ourselves as God’s creatures. We are called by God and sent by the community; we go in joy!
