      Sister Petra Daschbach

      ST. MARY-OF-THE-WOODS — Sister Petra Daschbach, 92, died at 10:47 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, 2012, in Mother Theodore Hall, St. Mary-of-the-Woods. She was born July 8, 1919, in Pittsburgh, to Albert and Estelle McCloskey Daschbach, and was baptized Mary Elizabeth.

      Sister entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Providence on Feb. 1, 1939, and professed final vows Jan. 23, 1948. She earned a bachelor’s degree from St. Mary-of-the-Woods College and a master’s degree from DePaul University, in Latin. Of her 72 years as a Sister of Providence, she ministered in education for 42 years, teaching 41 years in high schools in Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts and Washington DC. She taught English and Latin at Schulte High School from 1953 to 1955. Sister taught Latin and Religion at Immaculate Preparatory School in Washington, DC from 1965-1986. Retiring from teaching, she ministered for three years in St. Mary’s Parish in Fredericksburg, Va. In 1989 Sister Petra returned to Washington, DC where she taught Latin in St. Ann’s Academy and served in the Parish office until retirement. In February 2010, Sister Petra moved to Lexington, N.C., where she dedicated herself to the ministry of prayer and presence in the Parish of Our Lady of the Rosary. In August 2011, Sister Petra came to the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Providence, committing herself totally to the ministry of prayer.

      Sister will be long remembered for her love of the Eucharist and the people of God. Hundreds of former students have kept in touch with Sister over the years.

      Sister is survived by nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by three sisters, Rosemary Daschbach, Mildred DeWitt and Barbara Doherty, all of whom graduated from St. Mary-of-the-Woods College; and five brothers, Joseph, Bert, Charles, James and John Daschbach.

      The wake is on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, with the wake service at 4:30 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial is Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, at 11 a.m., church, with the Rev. Daniel R. Hopcus presiding. Burial is in the cemetery of the Sisters of Providence. Callahan-DeBaun Funeral Home assisted with arrangements.
