NOTE: Mount Calvary Cemetery was intended to be the last earthly home for some 55,000 San Francisco Catholics, among them some of the city's pioneers, but development at the turn of the last century upended those plans – and the grave sites themselves.
Eighty years later, in 1940-41, many of the faithful buried at Mount Calvary were transferred to Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma. The burial of this individual first took place at Calvary Cemetery, but her records and earthly remains are located at Holy Cross Cemetery.
