Born in 1928 + 61 years makes the year she entered 1989.
Not really not that long ago.
Convent life was hard back in 1989.
They were losing converts for decades why wouldn’t they take her.
Or maybe you thought she entered in 1928.
Her age at entering is what surprised me especially for a cloistered order. It’s a hard life in many ways. However, I do applaud her.
