When I remember Sister Consuella I think of her warm smile, her quick step, and her brilliant mind. I was fortunate to be one of her "Scho girls".
May you rest in peace in the presence of Jesus Christ.

Sister Consuella touched many lives with her inspirational manner and soft words. She had the grace and presence to convey her interest in all she met.

My condolences to the community and family of Sr. Counsuella. She touched my life and continued to brighten it on successive visits to the Monastery. I am saddened to hear of her passing, but know that it is the rest that she sought in her final years.

To the family of Sister Consuella: I, too, was privileged to have been in classes she taught at St. Scholastica (1958-1960). I have fond memories of those days. God's peace be with her and her family.

May eternal light shine upon her. I was privileged to have been her student at the Academy. She taught exceedingly well and gave much more than the academic lessons. Mary Florence Schoen Rybak '60
