Blessing of the Herbs in conjunction with our Assumption Day Mass
Requiescat in pace + Sr. Barbara Louise Drell, OSA February 22, 1932 - August 11, 2020
Sister Barbara Louise of the Order of St. Anne and beloved to all at Ascension died near Midnight on Tuesday, August 11. She had been ill for a number of days but her death was unexpected when OSA Mother Superior Judith Marie drove her for care to St. Joseph's Hospital, Chicago. Blessedly, her younger brother Robert Drell and his wife Mary were able to visit with her prior to the complications that led to her death. Sister Barbara had, until her final illness and death, been weathering the pandemic as well as possible for a people-lover in isolation. She continued some of her English language lessons by phone with a few of her students and spent time in good weather in the Convent of St. Anne garden, typically in the shade of apple trees planted by her father when she joined the order more than forty years ago. When known, plans for a requiem mass will be shared in the parish newsletter. - Fr. Raymond |
