About Sister Margaret Mary Walsh: She discovered her vocation late in life with the help of her pastor, then Father Edward Rice at Presentation Parish. She entered the novitiate in Philadelphia and remained there until 1997. During her years in Mount Grace, she served in the correspondence department. She was the director of the department until 2005 when her health began to decline, and then she helped as much as she was able until her full retirement in 2015. Following a stroke in November of 2018, she has been cared for in Nazareth Living Center, where she is content and at peace. She always enjoyed being with the community in the chapel and for meals and recreation. She enjoyed, reading, and playing games in recreation, especially Skip-Bo and Farkel!
