Biography

Trips to visit our Ursuline Aunts in their convents was a regular event, ushered into a large, dark parlour, sitting on chairs, or couches arrayed around the wall ...waiting for when Aunt Bunny would finally come in and rescue us kids, taking us into the kitchen for the cookies, buns, or biscuits she'd made for us. Always a treat! Her obituary: Sister Mary Priscilla Maloney, OSU, 84, died Friday, May 26, 2006 at Andrus-on-Hudson in Yonkers, New York. Born in Constable, New York, she was the daughter of Maude and Henry Maloney. Sister Priscilla was a graduate of St. Joseph's Academy in Malone, New York and North Country Community College where she received an LPN degree.

She professed her first vows in February 1945 and her final vows in 1948. From Beacon, she moved to Waterville, Maine. Sister Priscilla served in various Ursuline communities, including Malone, NY, Beacon, NY and Washington, DC.
