Sister Mary Lenette Marcello SND

My name is Joe Ludwick, Lenette's first cousin on her mother's side. The first thing I can remember about Lenette was that my father, her uncle, adored her. I remember him telling me that she was a nun and had decided to be a nun at a young age. My mom told me how she had survived being born premature and that the odds had been against her. I was little at the time and I remember feeling scared. For no good reason, nun's scared me. So did priests for that matter. But my dad told me...

Dear Family God bless you all as you mourn the loss of Sister Lenette. Her deep faith, love and acceptance were always present in every conversation. We know she´s in Heaven praying for us. Lenette touched all our hearts. We will miss her wisdom. My deepest sympathy Love and prayers

I was so sorry to hear of Lenette´s death. saddened too. I know her is a kind, compassionate person like deepest deepest condolences to all of her family, her sisters and her friends. I know she will be deeply missed.

Lenette provided an example of how to live your life. -Show concern and give advice without judgement. -Follow through on every promise made; without fail. -Love one another as God loves each of us. She was able to share this philosophy as she taught High School Language Arts and French at schools in Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida. Then later as Executive Secretary for the Leprechaun Foundation and as Executive Secretary to the Provincial Leadership Team at Sisters of Notre Dame...

I attended St James Catholic Elementary School, as did Lenette, in the late 50.s. We were both taught by the Sisters of Notre Dame; both became Sisters of Notre Dame . Lenette preceeded then assisted me in my efforts. Before that event there was another where we met "accidentally". She was babysitting for neighbors next door to my relatives. On the evening of the 4th of July,my uncle thought it a great idea to shoot off his hunting rifle at midnight, then bang the hood of a company van ...

Thank you for all you did with a kind loving heart !
