Sister Michaela Rock, CSJ

Sister Michaela was born in San Francisco, to Joseph and Dorothy Rock. She entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange in 1956 and began her ministry as a schoolteacher. She served many years in health care, including at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. Sr. Michaela's sense of humor made life more fun wherever she was.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to support the Sisters' ongoing ministries and sent to the Development office at 440 S. Batavia Street, Orange CA 92868.
