Sr. Ruth (formerly Mary Margaret) McCarron, CSA 74, a resident of Nazareth Center & Court, Fond du Lac, passed away on Wednesday, September 6th, 2007.
Sr. Ruth was born July 8, 1933 in New York City, N.Y., a daughter of the late John and Amelia Birnhard McCarron. She professed vows in the Congregation of St. Agnes on August 15, 1953. Sr.
With a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree as a reading specialist, Sister Ruth taught mainly primary grades for twenty-five years in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, and New York. Following her classroom years, she spent several years in community service at the Motherhouse where her talent for art led her to create environments of beauty, especially for community celebrations.
Her spirit was fed by mystics and poets, especially Jessica Powers, Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Merton, and Macrina Wiederkehr.

She will be remembered for the beauty of her art, her poetic soul, and her mystic spirit.
