Vale: Sr Marjorie Carroll osu
Sr Marjorie Carroll osu, known to many of her ex-students from the early years of St Ursula’s Kingsgrove as Sr Gabriel, died peacefully last Saturday 21 March. She was just one month short of her 90th birthday.
Marj held very fond memories of her life and work at St Ursula’s College. As a young sister she taught many students during the late 1960s and early 1970s. She was a very gifted musician and
contributed much to the cultural life of the College. Marj returned to the Ursuline community at Kingsgrove during the 1980s and taught again at St Ursula’s.
In her later years she embraced creation centred spirituality which harmonised with her deep love of music. She lived in the Parish of Hoxton Park, assisting young people in a range of ways but most especially through her pastoral care, her musical knowledge and talent.
We, the Ursuline sisters, are grateful for having shared in Marj’s life through many decades and know that we are all the richer for having been touched by her unique freedom and beauty.
