S. Rose Marita Arnold
S. Rose Marita Arnold died Jan. 1, 2017, at the age of 92 in Mother Margaret Hall. S. Rose Marita was born Mary Rose Arnold on Nov. 7, 1924, to Aloysius and Emma (Noll) in Zanesville, Ohio. She was the fifth child of six, being named for her grandmothers. She was a Sister of Charity of Cincinnati for 73 years.
S. Rose Marita attended public schools in New Concord and Findlay, Ohio, graduating in 1941. She met the Sisters of Charity in Marion, Ohio, when she was 16 and took piano lessons from S. Marie Celeste Rabaut. What she came to value most about her life as a Sister of Charity was the "opportunity to live a vowed life with other Sisters, enjoying many friendships and much support." She entered the Congregation in January 1943.
S. Rose Marita earned the Bachelor of Science in Education from the Athenaeum of Ohio in 1951; she received a Bachelor of Arts in social studies from the College of Mount St. Joseph (Cincinnati) in 1955 and later a master's in education from Xavier University (Cincinnati) in 1963.
S. Rose Marita's ministries brought her to the classroom and principal-ships over a 27-year period, beginning in 1945 at St. Boniface, Cincinnati. From there Sister taught at St. Mary, Cincinnati (1950-'51 and 1953-'54); St. Mary, Greenville, Ohio (1951-'53); Corpus Christi, Dayton, Ohio (1954-'55); she served as principal at St. Louis, Mount Clemens, Michigan (1955-'56); Cure of Ars School, Cincinnati (1956-'61); St. Albert, Kettering, Ohio (1961-'64); Holy Name High School, Cleveland, Ohio (1964-'67); and Shrine High School, Royal Oak, Michigan (1967-'72).
It was at this time that S. Rose Marita felt a call and change of direction in how she wanted to serve God's people. While at Shrine High School she became familiar with emerging opportunities for Sisters to serve in Michigan parishes; she felt she possessed those gifts and welcomed the challenge. She went to Sacred Heart, Oscoda, Michigan, as the director of religious education (1972-'75) and then to minister as a pastoral associate at St. Louis, Mt. Clemens (1975-'99), a parish she loved. She worked with the elderly, sick and homebound as well as Catholic residents in area nursing homes, visiting and bringing the Eucharist. She coordinated the parish nursing program, enlisting professional nurses who volunteer their time to provide health assistance to fellow parishioners. At the time of her Diamond Jubilee she remarked, "Just being available to people is the most important part of my life at the parish." S. Rose Marita was also a supporter of the Sisters of Charity Associate program.
S. Rose Marita was honored to attend the canonization of Elizabeth Ann Seton in Rome in 1976, a trip given to her by the Sacred Heart parishioners in Oscoda. A favorite annual retreat location for her was the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky. As she looked back on her pastoral ministry experiences she remarked, "I feel that I receive more than I give; the deep spirituality and great faith of the elderly in times of suffering is an inspiration to me."

Sr. Rose Marita Arnold, S.C., beloved member of the Sisters of Charity, dear sister of Lucille McGowan and the late Donald, Delbert and Ralph Arnold, survived by many nieces and nephews. Departed Sunday, January 1, 2017 at the age of 92.
