Maple Mount Sister Rita Redmond, 81, an Ursuline Sister of Mount Saint Joseph, died Sept. 3 at Mount Saint Joseph, in her 63rd year of religious life. She was a native of Fort Scott, Kan.
Sister Rita was an Ursuline of Paola, Kan., before the merger of that community with Mount Saint Joseph in 2008. She was a born teacher, and stayed in contact with students she had from 60 years earlier. She was a multi-tasker before that word was invented, and always looked for an opportunity to help someone in need.
She taught school in Kansas from 1950-69, then spent 32 years as a special education librarian in Paola. She moved to Maple Mount in 2009.
Survivors include the members of her religious community.
The funeral Mass will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Mount Saint Joseph, where visitation will begin Wednesday at 4 p.m., with a wake service following at 6:30 p.m.
Glenn Funeral Home and Crematory, Owensboro, is in charge of arrangements.
Gifts in memory of Sister Rita may take the form of donations to the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, 8001 Cummings Road, Maple Mount, KY 42356.
