Beverly Replogle Obituary

Sister Beverly Ann Replogle was born on November 22, 1929, in Washington D.C., the only child of Claude and Alice Callan Replogle. She grew up spending time in Washington and Kansas, where she enjoyed playing with her eleven cousins: "all boys," as she frequently reminded her sister friends. She graduated from Sacred Heart Academy in Washington in 1947 and attended Mount Saint Agnes College in Baltimore, where she earned a B. A. in History before entering the community of the Sisters of Mercy in Baltimore at Mount St. Agnes in 1951.

After her novitiate, she began teaching at Mount Washington Country School, an elementary military school, where she remembered being "quite a strict" teacher of boys. She then taught at St. Vincent's Academy in Savannah, GA, from 1961 to 1963, followed by Mercy High School in Baltimore, MD, from 1963 to 1965. In both high schools she taught all girls. She was open to new ideas and innovation in education.

After earning a Master's degree in history from the University of Pennsylvania in 1970, she taught at Mt. St. Agnes College, in Baltimore. She held administrative posts at the Baltimore College of Commerce and the Loyola College Columbia campus.

Her parents' health declined, and she went to Florida to help them in 1977. While she was there, she became a supervisor in the Recreation Department of the City of St. Petersburg, Florida. She remained in Florida engaged in adult education and recreation until she retired to Mercy Convent in Savannah in 2016. Sister Beverly recalled teaching classes on the closed-circuit television when that was quite a new and unusual dimension of education. She said she taught a class in cooking with a microwave, when she had never used a microwave herself before she taught!

She loved animals of all kinds, especially dogs, cats and horses, and displayed a picture of herself as a child with a pony. Another picture she proudly displayed was a painting of an alligator who lived in the lagoon close to her home in Florida. She enjoyed creating beautiful things, especially ceramics. Her love for the color purple affected many of the choices she made, whether in clothing or furnishings.

Her influence on students was lasting, as shown by the fact that women who had known her as a teacher in the 60's still kept in touch with her in 2025.

She is survived by her Sisters in the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, and by several cousins, including Joe and Judy Callan.

A Mass of Christian Burial is being planned and will be announced as soon as it becomes available.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas at Mercy Convent, 11801 McAuley Drive, Savannah GA 31419.
