Sister Carolyn Andrewes died on September 12 at Norwalk Hospital near Wilton following a short illness. She was 86 years old and a vowed member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame for 65 years.
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!
