Sister Luz María Orozco CHM

I was never fortunate enough to have Sister Luz as an instructor at Marycrest, but during my time there she was an enthusiastic supporter of me, my writing, my acting, my singing. Her good humor was infectious. And she opened my eyes to so many things that I still carry with me today.

Sister Luz Maria was both my Spanish and English teacher. I think of her often and am deeply saddened by her passing.

Sister Orozco was one of my English Professors at Marycrest. She, along with Jan Luton, we´re the two that made it a point to say that they thought I´d be a great teacher. She´d often stop me and ask about how basketball was going , or making sure my `stuff´ for class was getting done (small college). These things obviously had an effect on me and the confidence to go do what I wanted to do, which was to teach. I´m embarrassed to say I was unaware of the incredible background in education...

Sr. Luz was such a wonderful teacher and friend. She was loved by many. Love, Valerie Brekke

Rest in heavenly peace. I´ll always fondly remember our Marycrest years. Thank you for your many years of service and dedication to education.

Sr. Luz Maria was my favorite professor at Marycrest. I loved her passion for life and dedication to teaching. She had a wonderful sense of humor!
