In Memoriam


Sister Patricia J. Walsh, OP

(1933 - 2015)

Sister Patricia J. Walsh, born on June 15, 1933, in Chicago, was the first of four children born to John and Patricia (Sullivan) Walsh. Her father was a city fireman and her mother, before they were married, was a comptometer operator. Sister Pat said, “Today she would have worked on a computer.”   

In her autobiography, Sister Pat emphasized the family’s long relationship with St. Columbanus Parish.  She wrote:

My mother was the first baby baptized at St. Columbanus Church and I was baptized there also on July 2, 1933. I attended St. Columbanus School as my mother, aunt and uncles had. We would live in that parish until the last month before I graduated and entered the Congregation.

Sister Pat was such a force in my life. She always had a positive attitude and words of encouragement. I am so blessed to have had her enter my life. I will miss her more than she will know. Love you sister Pat. You will always be a part of me.

St. Pat has been in our family for as long as I can remember. She lived with my Aunt TJ for 44 yrs. I live in Wisconsin but I was lucky enough to to visit both of them in Adrian last month when I was there on business. This is quite a shock since she was looking great and heading to Chicago! RIP sister Pat you will be missed 😞
