Sister Harriet Corrigan, a teacher at the old City House school, Villa Duchesne in Frontenac and the Academy of the Sacred Heart in St. Charles, died Tuesday (July 10, 1990) of pneumonia at Regis Hall in St. Charles. She was 83.
Sister Corrigan taught scripture, English, logic and geometry in addition to her specialty - creative writing. She believed that the study of logic and geometry helped a writer get to the core of ideas to make things clear.
After open-heart surgery, she spent the summers of 1970 and 1971 in Panama cataloging the library of Marcos McGrath, archbishop of Panama, and the seminary library. Other retirement activities included tutoring adults for the high school equivalency test in north St. Louis and teaching children at Charles Borromeo's parish in St. Charles.
Sister Corrigan was born in Kansas City and entered the Society of the Sacred Heart in Albany, N.Y., in 1927. She received bachelor's degrees from Maryville College and State University of New York at Albany and a master's degree in sacred scripture and theology from St. Mary's College in South Bend, Ind.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Shrine of St. Philippine Duchesne, 619 North Second Street, St. Charles. The body was donated to the St. Louis University School of Medicine.
Among the survivors are a sister, Bernard C. Blanton of University City.
