Sister Mary Anne Wolking, longtime teacher, was 85
Sister Mary Anne Wolking was the oldest of six sisters to enter the Benedictine community of St. Walburg Monastery in Villa Hills. A longtime teacher, she died Wednesday in the monastery infirmary at the age of 85.
Since her siblings were all members of St. Walburg Monastery, they were a close-knit group, preparing and assembling for all kinds of celebrations. That continued after the death of Sister Mercedes Wolking, the first of the sisters to die, in January 2002.
Sisters Teresa, Amelia, Charles and Consolata Wolking survive.
Sister Mary Anne was born in Covington and entered the Benedictine community in 1935. She taught elementary school at St. Anthony in Forest Hills, Ohio; St. James in Brooksville, Ind., and Villa Madonna Academy in Villa Hills.
In 1952 she began teaching math and science at secondary schools, serving at Holy Cross High in Latonia and St. Henry High School in Erlanger.
In 1972, Sister Mary Anne began working with children in the Villa Madonna Montessori School in various capacities until she retired. She celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 1997.
Sister Mary Anne had been incapacitated for some time before her death.
