I committed my life to Catholic Education
to focus on making a difference in the lives of children.

She was born on July 23, 1937, in Columbus, Ohio, the second of five children born to Charles and Gertrude (McBride) Evans.

I was happy to come upon this link honoring Sr. Edward Catherine. She was my second grade teacher at St. Philip Neri (Chicago) in 1962-63. Her expectations for excellence and maximizing one’s own potential inspired me to enter the profession of education, where I served for 20 years. God bless you, Sister, and your wonderful sisters in faith.

Aunt Mary Kay as she was affectionately called was a wonderful soul with a quick wit! As the oldest nephew/niece I enjoyed her company longer than most, and both later lived in the Los Angeles outlining area. I only received love and affection from her. She was an Educator and Leader, but mostly, she could have a real conversation with anyone because she was a great listener. God Bless Aunt Mary Kay!

May Sr. Mary Kay rest in peace, knowing how much her life painted our own with kindness.
