I was born and raised in St. Joseph, Mo. and I am the oldest of three girls. I attended Catholic schools and came to know the Benedictine Sisters at Bishop LeBlond High School and later at Mount St. Scholastica College.  After I graduated from college in 1969, I entered the community in Atchison.  Over the years my ministry has been in teaching and administration in schools and in our community.  I was blessed to serve our community as prioress, and now I am serving as Director of Development. I enjoy being active, walking, working in the flower garden and just exploring nature.  I like to read, to sew, play cards and visit with others.
