Eventually she entered the Order where she did her Religious Training . She Prayed she would be given the name of Susanne after our Foundress, her Prayers were answered. Following this Suzanne worked as a Sister of Compassion in our different areas of work. I knew sister well as we began our Nursing Training together, she was a bright young woman and did well with her Nursing, gaining good marks in all three Papers, Medical, Surgical, & Maternity. She was a good nurse and I know people loved her approach to them. After sisters time in the Hospital she had a few health issues and felt she was unable to carry on as a Sister of Compassion, eventually she left the Order, Married and had a family.
