Rosalin Thieneman

Sister Rosalin Thieneman, 96, an Ursuline Sister of Mount Saint Joseph, died March 29, 2017, at Mount Saint Joseph, in her 68th year of religious life. She was a native of Shively.
Sister Rosalin mixed a strong work ethic and concern for her students with a sly sense of humor. She taught at Mount Saint Joseph Academy (1956-57), Immaculate School (1957-59) and St. Pius Tenth School (1959-61) in Daviess County. Sister Rosalin served in a variety of roles at Brescia College from 1961-88, including assistant registrar, dean of admissions and director of financial aid. Today's Brescia University students receiving financial aid owe a debt of gratitude to Sister Rosalin's pioneering efforts.
She also taught or served as a parish minister elsewhere in Kentucky. At the Motherhouse, she served as an information receptionist and volunteer in the finance office.
Survivors include her sister, Marita Eckhart, of Louisville, nieces and nephews and the members of her religious community.
The funeral Mass will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, April 3, at Mount Saint Joseph. Visitation begins Sunday 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.
