In Memoriam
Rose Mary was foremost a religious woman who became a teacher, writer, counselor and spiritual director. Her qualities of honesty and openness endeared her to others. Rose Mary was a woman of wisdom and gentle humility. She had a hunger for God and a deep sense of the spiritual.
Mary was an activist who spoke out for Catholic feminist theologians. She lobbied for full rights for women in the Church. She received the 1986 National Women’s Ordination Conference award as a prophetic figure who contributed to the enablement of women.
Sister Marie was amazing in her humanity and spirituality. She took time to notice others, understood their situation, was supportive and encouraging.
