Anyone remember this story?

[wondrousgnat]

It was in the 1970s when I saw a story on the evening news. A woman died in Philadelphia and her funeral mass was concelebrated by all 7 of her sons. Her 4 daughters, all nuns, were also in attendance. Even though I was not a church person I was very impressed. Impressed enough that 35-40 years later I still remember that brief news story.
Wonder why the church has not declared her a saint? Surely God did.

The Church has centennially long lines for canonization.

If she was not well known for miraculous intercessions, she would not be canonized, IIUC.

It is only just now that we are evaluating the parents of St Terese of Lisieux for canonization, and her daughter has been declared a Doctor of the Church as well as a saint!

Not all those who are saints in that definition (directly to Heaven with no stay in Purgatory) are recognized and declared saints by the Church
