The Dominican Sisters of Sparkill give thanks to God for the life of our Associate Nancy Hennelly who entered eternal life on June 5, 2017.
Nancy was an Associate of the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill from 2014–2017. She was a remarkable and kind woman beloved by her family and friends.
Nancy graduated from Holy Redeemer School in Webster Groves where she was taught by the Sparkill Dominicans from kindergarten through eighth grade, where she felt guided and supported in her faith and love of Christ by their teachings and example. She continued her education at Nerinx Hall and St. Louis University. Nancy’s Catholic faith was her strength throughout her life and was a great example to everyone who knew her, especially her three children whom she raised with extraordinary love.
She treasured her association with the Sparkill Dominicans. Her spirituality was enriched by their meetings and prayers even as her health failed. She would never miss meetings and events. She gave all who knew her a friend with the soul of a saint. Nancy Hennelly’s full obituary may be found here.
