Sister Miriam Therese Putzer, CSA, baptized Catherine Mary Smick, died peacefully January 30, 2026, at St. Francis Home, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Catherine was born October 2, 1931, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the daughter of Matthew and Cecilia Binder Smick. Her mother died in childbirth, along with baby Susan, when Catherine was three years old and her brother, Eugene, was five. Their father, feeling unable to care for his young children, placed them in the care of Cecilia’s two sisters, Verona Binder and Emma Binder Putzer, who lived together close to Matthew’s home. With their father’s consent, Emma legally adopted Catherine and Eugene in 1937, giving them her married name, Putzer. All of their lives, Catherine and her brother spoke of the loving childhood that their aunts provided for them, easing the loss of their mother. Catherine graduated from St. Mary’s Grade School in Oshkosh, staffed by the Sisters of St. Agnes. While a freshman in high school, she began feeling a tug at her heart to become a Sister. After resisting for a time, she tells of the moment of grace that occurred during a time of prayer in which she said yes to the call from God. She entered St. Agnes Convent in 1946, graduated from St. Agnes High School, and continued in the CSA formation program. She made her first profession of vows in the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes as Sister Miriam Therese on August 15, 1951, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

2026 marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of Sister Miriam Therese’s profession of vows. 

She faithfully spent her life of consecration and service as an educator, a CSA formation director in the United States and in Nicaragua, a member of the CSA general council, and as a local coordinator and spiritual companion for the elderly and infirm members of the congregation. She also served as a Spanish translator for patients at St. Agnes Hospital, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Her compassionate presence and ministry were enhanced by her profound spirituality, her graceful elegance, and her gifts as a writer and poet.

Sister began her studies toward a degree in elementary education at Marian College, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and completed her BS in Education at Fordham University, Bronx, New York. She earned a Masters in English from Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Indiana, in 1965. Her first years before and after religious profession, (1950-1967) were spent as an elementary teacher and principal in schools in Pennsylvania, New York, and Wisconsin, including St. Peter Claver School, Sheboygan, and St. Mary and St. Joseph Schools in Fond du Lac. In 1967, Sister Miriam Therese was appointed director of the CSA aspirancy, a live-in high school program for young girls considering religious life. While serving in this role she taught English at St. Mary’s Springs High School, the same school that the aspirants under her care attended. In 1969, Sister was elected to a four-year term as a member of the CSA general council. Upon completion of this leadership term, she taught English at Sacred Heart High School, Yonkers, New York (1973-1977). In 1977, she was again elected to the CSA general council serving another eight years in this role. Following this term of leadership, Sister Miriam Therese was appointed local coordinator for the sisters residing at Nazareth Heights, the CSA retirement center in Fond du Lac. She ministered in this role for six years, 1985–1991. In 1992, Sister was appointed novice directress for CSA in Nicaragua. She prepared for this ministry by studying Spanish for six months in Mexico before moving to Managua, Nicaragua. Her experience serving in this role and living among the sisters and people of Nicaragua was life changing. She loved guiding the young members of the congregation and treasured the culture of the people. They in turn loved and treasured her. Returning to the United States in 2001, Sister Miriam Therese spent her remaining years in active ministry as a spiritual companion for the sisters residing at Nazareth Court & Center in Fond du Lac. It was during this time that she also translated for Spanish-speaking hospital patients.

Sister Miriam Therese became a resident at Nazareth Court & Center in September 2015, engaging in community life with the same gracious, creative, and reflective spirit that exemplified her life. Needing more care, she was admitted to St. Francis Home in 2024, where she continued to receive loving care until the time of her death.

Sister was preceded in death by her parents, her aunts Verona and Emma, her infant sister Susan, and her brother Eugene.

Sister Miriam Therese is survived by her nieces Catherine Putzer Levin and Cynthia Jones Barcenas and their families, by her cousins, and by the Sisters of St. Agnes, with whom she lived, prayed, and ministered.

Sister Jovita Winkel, CSA, formerly Sister Eugene, died peacefully December 29, 2025, at SSM Health St. Agnes Hospital, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Jovita was born March 1, 1934, in Marytown, Wisconsin, the oldest child of Arnold and Alma Casper Winkel. She grew up on the family farm with her brother and two sisters enjoying the beauty of nature and appreciating the connection between faith, church, and life that their parents instilled in them. Jovita graduated from St. Mary’s Grade School, Marytown, and attended high school at St. Mary’s Springs Academy, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Because there was no bus service between Marytown and the Springs, Jovita boarded with families in Fond du Lac helping to care for their children. All her life, she treasured her relationship with these families. After high school graduation, Jovita was employed by a local dentist. During this time, she began seriously discerning her life call. A retreat experience led her to make the decision to become a woman religious. She entered St. Agnes Convent January 20, 1956. She made her first profession of vows in the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes as Sister Eugene on August 15, 1958, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Sister Jovita earned her BS in Elementary Education from Marian College, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and an MS in Elementary Education from the University of St. Francis, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Along with these educational degrees, Sister continually enriched her skills as an educational leader and pastoral minister by participating in numerous workshops, seminars, and conferences throughout her years in active ministry. She spent her life serving as a teacher, principal, Director of Religious Education and Pastoral Minister earning distinguished honors for her achievements and her commitment. She was an active member of many boards and committees for the dioceses of Green Bay, Superior and Madison.

Her life in ministry began as an elementary teacher at St. Mary’s School, Fond du Lac, at St. Mary Help of Christians School, West Allis, Wisconsin, and at St. Mary’s School, Crown Point, Indiana. She then devoted many years serving in rural schools and parishes in Wisconsin beginning as a teacher, principal, and Director of Religious Education at SS. Peter and Paul School, Hortonville, and at Most Precious Blood School, New London. Following seven years of service to her CSA community as an Apostolic Councilor (1975-1982), Sister returned to parish ministry as the DRE for St. John-Sacred Heart Parish, St. John, Wisconsin. She was principal at St. Mary’s School in Stockbridge, Wisconsin (1986-1989). Once again called to leadership for her religious community, she served as a member of the CSA General Council (1989-1993). Upon completion of her leadership term, Sister Jovita spent fourteen years as a beloved DRE, Pastoral Associate and Parish Director in Northern Wisconsin for the combined parishes of Our Lady of Sorrows, Ladysmith; St. Anthony, Tony; and St. Mary, Hawkins. She served her final years in active ministry as the Pastoral Minister at St. Mary Help of Christians Parish in Briggsville, Wisconsin, beginning in 2007 until her move to Nazareth Court & Center, the CSA retirement center, Fond du Lac, in August 2021.

Sister Jovita will be remembered for her keen knowledge of local history and awareness of those related to her through family and friendships, for her love of the people she served, and for the way she stayed connected with them over the years. She always had a story to tell or a memory to share.

Sister Jovita was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Peter, and her brother-in-law Roger Heus.  

Sister is survived by her sisters Audry Heus and Sister Marilyn Winkel, CSA, her sister-in-law Lorraine Winkel, her nieces and nephews and their families, and by the Sisters of St. Agnes, with whom she lived, prayed, and ministered.

Sister Marie Scott, CSA, baptized Joan Marie, died peacefully October 30, 2025, at St. Francis Home, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Marie was born September 11, 1949, in Gary, Indiana, the daughter of Ruth Ann Scott. As an infant she was adopted by her grandparents, Richard and Elizabeth McGrath Scott. Their nine children became brothers and sisters to Marie and together they shared many happy childhood memories. Marie attended St. Mary’s Catholic Grade School and Crown Point High School, Crown Point, Indiana. Upon graduation from high school, she began working in the Metallurgical Laboratory at US Steel, Gary, Indiana, and earned a technician’s degree in metallurgy from Indiana University. During her nine years at US Steel, Marie belonged to one of the national chapters of NOW, the National Organization for Women. This group empowered her to initiate a collective class action lawsuit on behalf of women in several steel mills who faced discrimination and earned lower wages than male employees. She was instrumental in helping the women win the lawsuit, an achievement that Marie described as one of the highlights of her life. Following this effort, Marie received an Associate Degree in Religious Education from Calumet College of St. Joseph, Hammond, Indiana. She began serving as a volunteer at St. Mary’s Parish in Crown Point, teaching English as a second language to Vietnamese boat people. Her volunteer service led her to reconnect with her grade schoolteachers, the Sisters of St. Agnes, who encouraged her to consider religious life. The sisters invited her to join them for a summer mission experience working with children in Seboyeta, New Mexico, to see if she enjoyed working alongside sisters in ministry. This experience led Marie to enter St. Agnes Convent September 5, 1977. She made her first profession of vows in the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes on July 24, 1981, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Over her years in active ministry, Sister Marie earned a BS in Education, majoring in history and theology, from Marian College, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; an MA in US History from Fordham University, Bronx, NY; and an MA in Pastoral Ministry with a focus on pastoral counseling and spiritual direction from St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She lived and served with joyful energy, creativity, and dedication first as a high school history and religion teacher at St. Mary’s Springs, Fond du Lac (1982-1983) and at Sacred Heart High School, Yonkers, New York (1983-1988). In 1988, she was appointed to the role of vocation director for CSA, a position she held until the summer of 1990 when she was named novice director for the congregation, serving in this role for ten years. While director of novices, she began ministering at Marian University, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin (1991) teaching part-time in the history department. In 1997, she became the Director of Campus Ministry and Assistant Professor of History. She devoted twenty-seven years to Marian University retiring in 2018. She was beloved on the campus by students, faculty, and staff, serving as a spiritual guide and creating many opportunities for the Marian community to engage in social justice efforts and outreach to those in need. In 2018, Sister Marie was appointed as a CSA Regional Coordinator, ministering to the sisters across the United States. Sister Marie served on several committees for her CSA community and engaged in many social justice and peace initiatives. The CSA community gathers each Advent at St. Agnes Convent for the annual lighting of the Peace Tree, a tradition Sister Marie initiated in 1991 at the beginning of the Gulf War.

Beginning in 2020, health issues began to ravage her body. The many people with whom Sister shared life and ministry surrounded her with their presence and support. She was admitted to St. Francis Home in February 2024 and received loving care until the time of her death.

Sister Marie was preceded in death by her birth mother, Ruth Scott Crippen, her adoptive parents, her brothers Kenneth, Paul, James, and Buehl; her sisters Joan Cerovina, Lois (Richard) Thompson, and Faye (John) McLeod.

Sister is survived by her brothers Jerome Scott and Harry (Sheri) Crippen; her nieces, nephews, and their families and by the Sisters of St. Agnes, with whom she lived, prayed, and ministered.

Cremation has taken place.

Sister Cecile Marie Kees, CSA, baptized Alfreda Veronica, died peacefully October 13, 2025, at St. Francis Home, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Alfreda was born in St. John, Wisconsin, on September 14, 1927, to Michael and Clara Popp Kees. Her father’s first wife, Theresa, died leaving three small children. Michael then married Clara and together they had ten girls and four boys creating a close-knit family of seventeen children. As a young child Alfreda thought about being a Sister yet quickly put such thoughts aside as she enjoyed life on the family farm. After eighth grade graduation she was hired by her uncle to do household chores for his wife who was ill. She was happy in this role until her mother died when she was fifteen. Alfreda returned home to help care for her eight younger siblings. While managing many family responsibilities, the desire she first experienced in childhood to be a Sister began to tug at her heart again. After much prayer and with the blessing of her father, she entered St. Agnes Convent on August 30, 1947. She attended St. Agnes High School graduating in 1950. She made her first profession of vows in the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes as Sister Cecile Marie on August 15, 1952, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Sister earned a BS in Education from Marian College, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; a master’s degree in elementary education from St. Francis College, Fort Wayne, Indiana; and a master’s degree in theology from St. Thomas University, Houston, Texas. She served in rural and urban settings as an elementary teacher, a coordinator of religious education and adult formation, and as a pastoral and social service outreach minister. Sister Cecile Marie’s heart for the poor and needy guided her ministerial commitments. She lived keenly aware of God’s presence directing her life and the lives of those she served.

Sister Cecile Marie taught in parish schools in New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Wisconsin (1952-1978). She then was assigned as Director of Religious Education for all ages at St. Jude Parish, Beloit, Wisconsin (1979-1984). From 1984-1986, Sister relished living and engaging in ministry at Unity House on the South Side of Chicago, a CSA sponsored neighborhood outreach center in the inner city. She also taught religion classes at Holy Angels Catholic School near Unity House. While at Unity House, Sister felt called to spend time with the Living Stones of Jesus, a charismatic religious community for single women and men founded by her sister, Sister Annacile Kees. She was granted permission to spend a year in prayer and discernment with this community to seek where God was calling her. After this year, Sister returned home to CSA firmly convinced of her call to be a Sister of St. Agnes. Following her return, she served as Director of Religious Education at SS. Peter and Paul Parish, Hortonville, Wisconsin, and then was assigned to be Assistant Coordinator at Nazareth Heights, the CSA retirement center in Fond du Lac. Sister’s final nine years in active ministry were spent serving in a variety of pastoral roles with Sister Jovita Winkel in the northern Wisconsin parish cluster of Our Lady of Sorrows, in Ladysmith, St. Anthony, in Tony, and St. Mary in Hawkins.

Sister chose to return to Fond du Lac in 2003, living at a local mission house and then at the CSA motherhouse while volunteering as a seamstress for the retired sisters at Nazareth Court & Center. In 2010, Sister became a resident at the retirement center, continuing to volunteer as she was able. She was loved for her caring, faith-filled presence among the sisters, the staff, and all the residents, especially those at St. Francis Home, where she lived her final days. Until she was called home, she reached out to touch others with the goodness of God in her own unique and beloved ways.

Sister Cecile Marie was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Adelbert, Herman, Joseph, and Leonard, her sisters Rita Mueller, Alvera Kees, Lillian Kees, Ruth Uitenbroek, Hildegard Kees, Sister Annacile Kees, Regina Brickner, and Sister Marie Kees, CSA.

Sister is survived by her brothers Martin and Michael (Christine) Kees, her sisters Dorothy (Roland) Brandt, and Ann (Charles) Peters; her nieces, nephews, their families and by the Sisters of St. Agnes, with whom she lived, prayed, and ministered.

Services for Sister Cecile Marie will be held on Monday, October 20, 2025.

Sister Anne Jude Van Lanen, CSA, baptized as Rosanne Colette, died peacefully on October 7, 2025, at Nazareth Center, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
Rosanne was born December 23, 1933, in Wrightstown, Wisconsin, the daughter of Frank and Catherine (Vander Heiden) Van Lanen. She grew up on her family farm with her eight brothers and sisters. After high school graduation in 1952, Rosanne attended St. Agnes School of Nursing, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, staffed by the Sisters of St. Agnes.  Inspired by the sisters, Rosanne chose to enter St. Agnes Convent on October 17, 1954. She made her first profession of vows in the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes as Sister Anne Jude on August 15, 1957, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

A graduate of St. Agnes School of Nursing in 1955, Sister Anne Jude received a BS in Nursing Education in 1958 from Marian College, Fond du Lac.  She began her life-long ministry in healthcare at St. Agnes Hospital, Fond du Lac, where she served as a head nurse and night supervisor (August 1955-December 1960).  Sister’s dream of being a missionary nurse came true in 1961 when she was assigned to serve at Clínica Santa Inés in Waspam, Nicaragua (1961-1970). Besides working in the clinic, she traveled the river to villages up and down the Río Coco providing medical, dental, and midwifery services. She also trained local health workers. 

When health issues caused Sister to return to the United States in October 1970, she took a position as a staff nurse, PM supervisor, and Home Care Nurse at St. Anthony Hospital, Hays, Kansas (July 1971-July 1973). In July 1973, Sister was elected to the General Council for the Congregation serving the community for four years in this position. She also served at various times in other congregational leadership roles, including Retirement Coordinator for CSA, Local Leader at St. Agnes Convent, and Local Coordinator at Nazareth Court & Center. 
Sister Anne Jude is honored in the Fond du Lac community as one of the founders of hospice care in the city. Beginning in 1977, when the hospice movement was still in its early stages in the United States, Sister traveled to England with Sister Mary Agreda Touchett to research hospice services being developed in that country. Upon their return, they worked with Peg Cerny, RN, other Fond du Lac healthcare providers, and community leaders to establish Agnesian HealthCare Hospice Hope. The program was approved by the State of Wisconsin in 1980.  Hospice began as a home visit program followed by the opening of the first inpatient hospice beds at St. Agnes Hospital in 1982. Sister served as a hospice nurse after its founding until 1990. 

In 1990 Sister returned to Nicaragua, living in Puerto Cabezas and assisting in the formation program for Latin American women entering the Congregation of St. Agnes, a role she held for six years. 

Upon her return to Fond du Lac, she was appointed Local Coordinator at Nazareth Court & Center (1998-2002). Her final years in healthcare ministry were devoted to serving as a chaplain for home hospice patients and those at Hospice Home of Hope. In May of 2018, Sister Anne Jude became a resident at Nazareth Court & Center where she engaged in the life of the community and received loving care until the time of her death. Sister Anne Jude expressed gratitude for her life in this way:

“Mine was a life enriched by all those with whom and to whom I had the privilege of ministering - as nurse - as Sister - in Nicaragua - in CSA community service - in religious life formation - as hospice nurse, chaplain, and volunteer. A life enriched by shared relationships and song—always singing!”

Sister was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers Rueben, Ralph, Norbert, Francis, William and Eugene; her sisters Colette Vandehey Nytes and Mary Nelessen Kessler; her niece Sister Kathleen Nelessen, CSA. 

She is survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and the Sisters of St. Agnes, with whom she lived, prayed, and ministered.
Cremation has taken place.
