Sister Mary Ann Walsh, woman of faith, writer, spokeswoman, dies at 68
ALBANY, N.Y. (CNS) – Mercy Sister Mary Ann Walsh, who went from hometown schoolteacher to Vatican correspondent, lived out her drive to be a writer even in her last days. She died April 28 in her hometown of Albany, New York, after a battle with cancer.

Sister Mary Ann, 68, had stepped down last summer from her role of 21 years in media relations for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the last six years as director. Just as she began a transition to a new job she quickly came to love – writing for America Magazine as the Jesuit publication’s U.S. church correspondent – she learned that she had fast-growing metastatic cancer and moved home to the motherhouse in Albany where she had entered the Sisters of Mercy 50 years earlier.

The Sisters of Mercy formed and educated me in grade school. They were and are good women.

Requiem Aeternam dona ei, Domine
R. et lux perpetua luceat ei:
Requiescat in pace. R. Amen.
