Sister was born in Washington, DC, and attended the Catholic University Campus School staffed by the Sisters of Notre Dame. It was the friendliness of these sisters, along with their excellent teaching, that drew her to religious life. In all the years of her ministry in elementary education, Sister found that being a music teacher and choir director were most gratifying. She once shared that her purpose in life was to bring Christ to those whom she served. May Sister now delight in God’s unconditional love for all eternity.
The memorial service for Sister Mary Johnmarie will be on Thursday, July 23, (Sister’s 91st birthday) at 10:00 a.m., followed by the burial. The memorial service will be live-streamed.
