Sister M. Cronan Flynn, MM

Born: February 17, 1900
Entered: May 24, 1926
Died: March 25, 1962

Sister Mary Cronan slipped away to heaven last night at 8:30 p.m. on the Feast of the Annunciation, after her long illness of over thirty-four years.

Sister Mary Cronan (Maria A. Flynn) was born in City Island, New York, on February 17, 1900. She received her education in the Public Schools in City Island.

Sister entered Maryknoll on May 24, 1926, and made her first Profession of Vows on October 28, 1928. Most of the years of her religious life were spent at the Motherhouse. In 1953, Sister went to Tucson, Arizona to lend a helping hand to our Sisters who were working there at that time – she returned to the Motherhouse in June of 1954.

Sister was well prepared to go to God! Since the first of the year there were indications that her health was failing rapidly. She herself recognized the signs and spoke calmly and simply about the short time left for her to get ready for heaven.

A Requiem Mass will be sung in the Bethany Chapel for the repose of her soul on Wednesday morning, March 28, at 11:00 o’clock.
