Sr. Mary Imelda

Sr. Mary Imelda

Sr. Mary Imelda graced the halls of the Little Sisters of the Poor home in Clifton for the past nine years.  She was the driving force, and incredible talent behind every bake sale and spaghetti dinner during that time.  She was also a very kind and welcoming soul for everyone that entered the home.

Unfortunately her time with the Cincinnati team has come to an end.  She was traded to the Mobile team for twenty-five rosaries and a future draft pick.  She will be sorely missed.

Sr. Mary Imelda

Imelda leaves our happy place

She blessed so long with cheer and grace.

Our eyes grow full as we recall

The many ways she blessed us all.

A carrot cake or key lime pie,

Her cookie tins, or salty rye.

And never have I come across

Such finely made spaghetti sauce.

But far more than her tasty treats

We’ll miss the cheerful smile that greets,

And heart of service always there

To help the needy anywhere.

Those favored years we had with you,

How quickly passing by they flew.

But blessings are for sharing, see…

So we must share with others, thee.

Although the distance far away,

Forever in our hearts you’ll stay.

And when we fondly think of you

We’ll say a prayer of thanks for you.
