Snapshot From the Past
Sister M. Emmanuel Heinlen was born on June 16, 1902 and died on June 16, 2001, her 99th birthday. Sister Emmanuel was known for her teaching of Latin and the writing of several books in Latin. These books are now preserved in a Classical library at Miami University (OH)
(Quomodo Dicitur? - How do you say it?; Via Latina - The Latin Way; Dic Mihi Latine - Speak to me in Latin)
In Sister Emmanuel’s retirement years at Ursuline Center, she walked great distances daily and sometimes overestimated her energy and had to be “rescued” to return home. She loved to play piano and enjoyed apple pie as one of her favorite desserts. She was dearly loved and cherished by her Sisters in religion, her family, students, and her many friends.
