Sr. Mary Leonore (Yvonne Carolyn) Schulz, SLW

June 2, 1935 - August 28, 1987

Sr. Mary Leonore was born June 2, 1935 in New Ulm, MN.  She received her BS & MS from DePaul University in Chicago, IL. 

Mary Leonore first taught elementary school classes.  She continued her work as an educator in high school mathematics classes.  Her keen interest in both math and science was evident in her teaching.  Before her death, she had begun the Law Program at De Paul University in hopes of advocating for the poor. 

Mary Leonore helped in the development of the Sisters of the Living Word.  She was involved in committee work since 1975, and was deeply committed to the planning and progress of the Arlington Heights building.  Everyone present during the 1987 Assembly, witnessed the tremendous energy expended by Mary Leonore in being part of the service - partly because of her commitment as an SLW, partly because of her dreams for this building.  

Sr. Mary Leonore died on August 28, 1987 and  is buried in All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines, IL.
