Sr. Mary Murrihy, SSJ Enters Eternal Life
Sr. Mary Murrihy, SSJ, passed away at 6:45 am this morning. Sr. Mary taught Cascia students for 34 years from 1979 -2013.
She was a legend in her own time for many reasons. Just to name a few: she was certified in 18 subjects; she was one of the first females to join the Cascia faculty; she was awarded an Honorary Diploma in 1987 and became the first female to graduate from Cascia Hall. In 1994, the administration of Cascia Hall established the Sr. Mary Murrihy Community Service Award in recognition of her long-term, consistent service to the Cascia Community. The award is given each year at graduation to the senior who, like Sr. Mary, goes above and beyond what is expected or required in service to others.
“Sr. Mary has had a huge impact upon our community,” said Headmaster Fr. Philip Cook. “We mourn her loss and remember her with love.”
Services will be held on Monday, August 27, 2018 at 4:00 pm at the Church of St. Mary in Tulsa.
