For many years now Sister has lived in Wagga Wagga where she is well loved by the Loreto Home of Compassion Community, and where she continues a pastoral role in the Home particularly in the care of the chapel. Her commitment to religious life began over 60 years ago and was influenced by the Sisters at Chanel Home in Suva. She had the joy to be at the re-dedication of the Chanel Home in 2016, where she received a warm welcome from the disabled residents she had cared for when they were children and young adults.
