Sister Marie Ego SL died peacefully at about 12:30 pm ET today, Jan. 23, at Loretto Living Center in Nerinx, Ky., with staff at her bedside. Many Community members and staff gathered together afterward to pray for her. Marie was 86 and in the 59th year of her Loretto commitment. Please keep Marie, her family and all her loved ones in your prayers. May she rest in peace.

I loved Marie🩷 She was so welcoming to me at the Motherhouse. Beth Blissman, Mary Swain, Marie and I would watch Rachel Maddow together. I will miss seeing her warm smile. Splendid journeys in eternity, Sister Marie Ego. Peace and warm memories for the sisters of Loretto and her family and friends 🙏❤️🕊️
A dear woman who knew herself and her values. It is stunning to me that I will not see her again here. I'll miss her wisdom, strength and presence on this planet. Your memory is a blessing, Marie.
Such a kind lady, rest peacefully Marie.
Loretto welcomes you.
