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.

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
