Sister had a very supportive family who lived in Foxton. Sister had many gifts especially handwork, and was very generous in sharing her Gifts. She had a great sense of humour which was great for us in the Novitiate with her. After her Profession Sister worked in our Hospital as she had started doing her Nursing training before she joined the Sisters of Compassion. After a lot of Prayer Sister decided the Religious life was not for her. Sister Cecilia Scanlon
