Sister Martinez, RSCJ (’35, B.A., Philosophy and English),<br />

who served as the second president of <strong>Maryville</strong> College,<br />

died November 12, 2007, at age 92. A memorial service<br />

was held on November 26 at Oakwood, the RSCJ<br />

retirement center in Atherton, Calif., where she had lived<br />

since September 2001.<br />

Born November 29, 1914, in New Orleans, Sister<br />

Martinez entered the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1935.<br />

Her first years of ministry were spent teaching at the<br />

Academy of the Sacred Heart, where she had been<br />

educated. She later received master’s and doctoral degrees<br />

from Saint Louis <strong>University</strong> and a master’s degree in<br />

library science from the <strong>University</strong> of Chicago. Sister<br />

Martinez served as president of <strong>Maryville</strong> College from<br />

1956 to 1957. She also taught theology, philosophy and<br />

library science at <strong>Maryville</strong> for many years and received<br />

the Alumni Centennial Award in 1981.<br />

In 1970, Sister Martinez began her career as the RSCJ’s<br />

national archivist, feeling strongly that no RSCJ should<br />

remain anonymous. Six thousand file cards in the personal<br />

records of the RSCJ Archives in St. Louis are a testimony<br />

to her commitment in that regard.<br />
