In many ways hers was a simple life. She was a woman of deep faith, who ministered as a Lay Reader and Eucharistic visitor. She married, had children, and worked as a bookkeeper. When her parish church in New Hampshire was without a regular priest, she literally kept the doors open, leading Morning Prayer many Sundays. She entered the Community at 79 years of age sharing her joy in Christ for nearly 25 years. She served as Treasurer, a mentor to many postulants and novices, and Sacristan. Her laugh was contagious. She was loved dearly.
Serva Servorum Dei.
