Obituary of Sister Marion Riley, CSJ
Was born April 2, 1933 to Leo and Ann (Ryan) Riley in Minneapolis. After living a full, generous and loving life as an elementary teacher, administrative assistant, and teacher of adult immigrants who “always thought first of others”, she died peacefully, age 83, at Carondelet Village, St. Paul on August 24, 2016. Marion entered St. Joseph’s novitiate in 1951 after graduating from St. Anthony of Padua High School. The Sisters of St. Joseph she had as teachers, Paulist priests and supportive family members with strong Catholic values inspired her decision. Marion taught for 20 years in various Twin Cities Catholic elementary schools. She then worked at the St. Paul Seminary for 11 years as registrar and assistant to the Dean of Studies.
