Religious of the Sacred Heart Sister Mary Munch died Aug. 12 at Oakwood, the sisters’ elder care center in Atherton. She was 89 years old and a Sacred Heart Sister for 70 years.
Sister Mary served at Sacred Heart Schools in Nebraska and Illinois and is remembered for her more than 20 years as a spiritual director in several states including New York and Wisconsin.
A serious injury from a car accident led to her retirement in 1996 and moving to Oakwood in 2007.
Survivors include her brothers Henry and Fred Munch and sisters Marjorie Carlson, Cecilia McColley and Sacred Heart Sister Patricia Munch.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated Sept. 5, at 10 a.m. in the Oakwood Chapel with interment in the sisters’ cemetery there.
