I loved Sister Angelina, I was honored to help care for her o OLR.
Sr. Angelina had such a vivacious personality! She was a strong woman and displayed such love and devotion towards her faith. She would sit in the chapel here at Our Lady of Rickenbach and pray for hours. She would always say “God Bless you” when you were taking care of her, and would always say “thank you for everything.” It was an honor to get to know her.
She will be greatly missed at OLR in Clyde, Mo. R.I.P. Sister.
Sister Angelina was always such a kind and welcoming soul. She was such a gentle person who’s warmth and care made you feel you were part of the the Carmelite family. We are all grateful for her prayers and her genuine example of a loving Christian whose joy was based on the love of Christ and His Blessed Mother.

Sister Angelina was an example to many of the community of faith. She had a smile that gave you comfort and would pray for your request without fail. When I had a chance to talk to her she gave me two very beautiful prayer cards which saw me through a difficult time. Now she is with our Mother an Lord praying again for all of us. Praise be Jesus Christ.
