May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

God Bless and comfort all that shared a relationship with Sr. Mary Joseph. She is one of my educators that I remember for her stern but fair treatment of her students. Great sense of humor. I always enjoyed her class. RIP in God's loving arms.

Sister was one of the happy, smiling faces that welcomed me to St E's many years ago.
She was always there with a helping hand and words of encouragement.
Rest In Peace, dear Sister

She was one of favorite nuns. Sister Mary Joseph was more worldly then you thought, had a great sense of humor. I am glad i got to learn from her.

Sister Mary Joseph was one of our biggest fans at the "Box" during our run to the St. Elizabeth Vikings Girls Basketball First Ever State Championship in 1979. We will never forget her cheering us on in the bleachers. She also gave us all the typing skills we use today on our computers, phones, laptops, etc.
Rest in Peace Sister.

One of my favorite teachers. Tough, but fair.

A lot of great memories of business classes with Sister at SEHS - Class of 81

Sister was a wonderful person, teacher, and friend. She was such a positive influence in my life and career. She will be dearly missed, and I will keep her in my daily thoughts and prayers. I am truly grateful and blessed for having Sister in my life. May God bless her for what she meant and did for so many.
