Born into an Italian family, with two siblings (brother) to keep her busy growing up. She became a Dominican Nun at a very young age, although we knew her as a regular Chicago Public School teacher. She moved to Chicago in the 1950's, and was a teacher for over 40 years in the city of Chicago. Actually the majority of her teaching career was spent at Drummond School in Bucktown (Chicago, Illinois) and this is where most of us were touched by her teachings.
In the late 1970's, she moved to Hanover Park, where she resided for the latter part of her long life. After retirement she worked part time as a substitute teacher and taught Catechism. She devoted her life to the Roman Catholic Faith. Something many of her students at Drummond ever knew was that she supported a variety of Catholic charities throughout her life, including a chapter in India, built as a result of her generous donation and dedicated to her name. She enjoyed gatherings with her family and friends and she had a tremendous love for life, adored children from all walks of life, and lived selflessly.
She is survived by her loving nieces, nephews and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to the Salesian Missions at www.salesianmissions.org and to Boys Town at www.boystown.org.
Her memory will live on forever now, and I hope that at least she was very proud of us, as I truly believe she was. Fiddlesticks, was her favorite word whenever one of us cussed, and I remember her good ol' listerine bottle. I will never forget her.
