Sister Maura had only one sibling, a brother named John, who was a priest of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Sister Maura was the last of her family, all others preceded her in death.  Since Sister Maura spent much of her Ursuline life in California, burial will be in the Ursuline Sisters plot in Santa Rosa California.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ursuline Sisters Retirement Fund c/f 168 Werner Avenue, Daly City, CA 94014.
