SLOSTECH Sister M. Antonelle, OSF 1920-2011 Sister M. Antonelle Slostech died on April 21, 2011, at Flower Hospital in Sylvania, Ohio. The former Helen Slostech was born to Frank and Mary Slostech on March 19, 1920, in Minneapolis, MN. She professed her first vows as a Sylvania Franciscan on August 18, 1946 and her final vows on August 18, 1949. Sister Antonelle taught for 36 years in elementary schools in Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota. She worked in parish ministry for 13 years at St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Minneapolis, Minn., until she came back to the Motherhouse where she spent the past 17 years volunteering for the St. Francis Guild, serving on the Sacristy Team and working in the Rosary Care Center Gift Shop. She spent her free time making craft items to sell at craft sales and in the gift shop, something she enjoyed doing and did very well. Sister Antonelle will be remembered for her gracious manner and lovely smile as she welcomed visitors to the campus and in the gift shop. She was a good cook, made thousands of sweet treats for the bake sales on campus, and enjoyed playing games, a good movie and just being with her Sisters in community. She will be dearly missed by her Sisters in community and her family and friends.
