Angelene Ogden

Sr. Angelene was born December 6, 1914 in New Orleans, LA. She received her BA from DePaul University in Chicago, IL and her M.Ed from Loyola University in Chicago, IL. She also received a degree in Special Education from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI.

She always carried within herself the charism of Living Word, to bring life, especially to the deprived and less fortunate. Angelene's life and energy were especially noteworthy toward the hearing impaired with whom she spent more than twenty-five years.

Angelene experienced many transitions in her life of which some key ones occurred while she lived at Holy Trinity on Taylor Street. Perhaps one of the more significant adjustments was the move she made in August from Holy Trinity to St. Hedwig's Convent. Angelene had become very rooted in the life experiences of Holy Trinity and had invested untold energy and spirit into the neighborhood. Yet she consented to leave behind that which had been the center of her life for many years.

Sr. Angelene died on October 8, 1993 and is buried in All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines, IL.
