An 11 a.m. funeral Mass for Franciscan Sister Elizabeth Frances Scully will be offered Nov. 18 at Assisi House in Aston, Pa. Sister Elizabeth (formerly Sister Anthony Brendan) died Nov. 14. She was 97 and a professed member of the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia for 76 years. Sister Elizabeth was born in Windsor, Vermont, but later moved to Ireland, where she graduated from Presentation Convent High School in Youghal, County Cork. She entered the congregation in 1942 and professed her first vows in 1945. 

Sister Elizabeth earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Villanova University, a master’s degree in religious education from Loyola Marymount College in Los Angeles, and a master’s degree in classical Latin from Reed College in Portland. She ministered primarily in elementary and secondary education and parish ministry.

In the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Sister Elizabeth ministered for 11 years at the Shrine of the Little Flower School in Baltimore, St. Joseph School in Fullerton and The Catholic High School of Baltimore. She also served in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, California and the Republic of Yemen.
