Sister Ann served as a hospital nurse and long–term caregiver at facilities in South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. Toward the end of her 55-year nursing career, Sister specialized in caring for Alzheimer patients. She currently serves in full-time prayer ministry at Presentation Convent.

Now my time is spent being a ‘Mary’ as I spend more time in prayer.”
