Loving, smiling, listening, laughing, compassionate, at home with her God, are familiar words often used to describe Sister Miriam.
Rita Kachelmeier was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, February 23, 1920. She was the eighth of nine children born to Mary and Joseph Kachelmeier. Her parents must have been filled with heroic faith and trust since only three of their nine children survived after childbirth. In her autobiography, Sister Miriam shared that part of her happiness in heaven would be the joy of getting to know her sisters and brothers.
She spent 48 years teaching in grade schools in Chicago and throughout Wisconsin.
1966 was Sister Miriam's first year at St. Mary's, Port Washington. It was during this year that God had a special blessing for Sister and her mother. Sister Miriam's mother was transferred to a nursing home in Port Washington so that Sister Miriam could be a bit closer to her.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord!
