A quick Internet search determined that she was converted to Christianity against her father's will and he had her tortured and beheaded for it. Right after that he was killed by lightening hence she ended up becoming the patron saint of things like lightening and sudden death. Since sudden death and destruction from the clear blue sky is what artillery is all about she is also the patron saint of gunners.
