Sister Carmen Marie D’Adamio, S.S.N.D.

Sister Carmen Marie D’Adamio, S.S.N.D., served schools from Annapolis to Hagerstown to Towson

School Sister of Notre Dame Carmen Marie D’Adamio, a Baltimore native who helped lead Catholic schools in Annapolis, Catonsville and Hagerstown, died March 22. She was 77.

According to a memorial prepared by her order, Sister Carmen Marie first encountered the School Sisters as a student at St. Wenceslaus School in Baltimore. She was a 1961 graduate of The Catholic High School of Baltimore, and entered what was then Towson State Teachers College. She left after one semester, and the next year received the candidate’s veil for the School Sisters.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from what is now Notre Dame of Maryland University in 1969, and a master’s degree in early childhood education from what is now Towson University in 1975.

Sister Carmen Marie taught as a primary teacher in the Baltimore area for almost 15 years. She was an assistant principal at St. Mary’s School, Annapolis, and St. Mark’s School, Catonsville; and was principal of St. Mary’s School, Hagerstown.

She was part of the Mentor for the Catholic School Fellowship Program at what is now Loyola University Maryland, 1991-95; the educational advisor for Undergraduate Educational Programs at Notre Dame of Maryland University for 10 years; and was working as a receptionist for Notre Dame Preparatory School in Towson when cancer forced her to take medical leave.

A private burial was held at Villa Maria Cemetery in Glen Arm March 24. A memorial Mass will be celebrated when it is safe for larger groups to gather.
