Motherhouse
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
School Sister of Notre Dame Mary Barbara Ann Sarnowski died on December 31, 2013 at Our Lady of the Angels Community in Greenfield, Wisconsin. She was 87.
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 20, 1926, to Alphonse and Cecilia (Brukwicki) Sarnowski, she was baptized Theresa at St. Casimir Church in Milwaukee. She was first of six children – two brothers and three sisters were later additions to the family. Her elementary schooling was at St. Casimir and St. Gall. She attended Messmer High School where she was taught by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. It was during her junior year that she became interested in religious life. Following her high school graduation in 1944, she entered the SSND candidature. At reception in 1946, she was given the religious name Mary Barbara Ann. She professed her first vows on July 31, 1947. Sister Mary Barbara Ann earned a bachelor's degree in history from Mount Mary College, Milwaukee in 1956; a master's degree in guidance and counseling from Marquette University, Milwaukee in 1971; and a nursing assistant certificate from Waukesha Technical College, Pewaukee, Wis. in 1974.
Sister Mary Barbara Ann ministered for 28 years, teaching mostly intermediate and junior high students. She taught at St. Stanislaus Kostka and St. Michael in Chicago. Her other teaching locations were in Wisconsin at: St. Leo and Holy Cross, Milwaukee; St. John the Baptist, Marshfield; St. Mary, Burlington; St. Peter, Beaver Dam; and Christ King, Wauwatosa. She was grateful for the opportunity to work at the Notre Dame Health Care Center, Elm Grove during the summers. She wrote the following about the valuable insights this provided: "It gives one a good perspective in life and teaches lessons in charity and humility that many hours of spiritual reading could never accomplish." This experience influenced her to service for the SSND community for 29 years as a nursing assistant at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Convent, Mount Calvary, Wis. and at Notre Dame of Elm Grove. She retired in 2003 and lived for eight years at Notre Dame of Elm Grove. She moved to Our Lady of the Angels Community in Greenfield, Wis. in 2011, where she continued to share her gifts of prayer and presence.
Sister Mary Barbara Ann is survived by her sisters Barbara, Patricia and Loretta, her brother Jerome, other relatives, friends and the SSND Community.
