Sister Catherine Ann Weyenberg Brookfield - 1923 - 2018 a Wheaton Franciscan Sister
Sister Catherine Ann Weyenberg, passed into the fullness of God on January 12, 2018. She was born in Little Chute, Wisconsin February 12, 1923. She became a member of the Wheaton Franciscans on September 2,1942 and professed her final vows on May 19, 1948. She is preceded in death by her parents Hattie (Verhagen) and George G. Weyenberg, her brothers and sisters, Lester, Clarence, Betty, Julia and Mary. She is survived by her sister, Irene Hietpas.
Sister Catherine entered the Franciscan Sisters, Daughters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in St. Louis Missouri in 1942. After formation, she professed temporary vows as a sister in 1945 and final vows in 1948. After fulfilling this first longing of her heart, she began preparing herself for a nursing ministry at Marquette University for a BS in Nursing. There she received a scholarship for a MS in Nursing Administration at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Through all the different ministry assignments in nursing and hospital administration, and all the changes throughout the years, Sr. Catherine firmly believed that a nurse's commitment to the patient never changes. She was very dedicated to the patients and the associates with whom she worked with at St. Joseph's Hospital in Milwaukee, WI; St. Francis Hospital in Waterloo, IA; St. Michael's Hospital in Milwaukee, WI; St. Francis Hospital in Cape Girardeau, MO; and St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Appleton, WI.
Her final years were spent at Franciscan Woods, Brookfield, Wisconsin. There she passed into the fullness of God on January 12, 2018. She will be remembered in our hearts as our faithful and dedicated sister, who lived and served others in and from the depth of her prayer, the excellence of her service, and her presence of love.
