Sister Mary Earle was such a caring person. A lot of students were scared of her until they got to know her. I spent some quality time with her during my years at Archbishop Keough. I truly loved her. She will be missed. RIP

Sr. Earle was on of my teachers at Blessed Sacrament School in Baltimore. She worked very hard trying to convince me to go to an SSND high school. I never went to one. I did, however, end up teaching at the Institute of Notre Dame, the first SSND school established in the US. Many years later I met Sr. Earle again at a parish reunion. She asked what I was doing with my life and smiled very broadly when I told her where I was teaching. Little things made her happy.

Thank you for everything! I knew Sr. Mary Earle from Keough and the relationship was a blessing in disguise.

Sr. Earle taught me in eighth grade at Blessed Sacrament School in Baltimore. She was strict, but very loved by her students. She was beautiful with those lovely black eyebrows. Back in those days we couldn´t see the nuns´ hair. May this lovely woman rest in peace.

Sister Earle was a young, fresh-faced SSND when she began her teaching career at Blessed Sacrament School in the 1950´s in Baltimore, MD. She was a wonderful teacher! I helped clean the Sacristy of the church on Saturdays. I´m sorry she is gone from this life, but I´m sure that she has earned an eternity of peace with our lord.
