100 Reasons to Celebrate:

Sister Maura Phillips, OP ‘39, who directed musical activities at Siena Heights for many years, celebrated her 100th birthday on April 25, 2014. Now living in the Dominican Life Center on the Adrian Dominican Sisters cam- pus, Sister Maura is currently the oldest living Adrian Dominican. She is “still very alert and mobile and does use a walker for stability,” according to Tootie Horn ‘68, who helped organize a birthday party for Sister Maura. SHU Music faculty member Dr. Beth Tibbs and her choir performed for the occasion. “I saw Maura’s toe tapping,” Horn comment- ed after the celebration. “Her head was down a lot, then would pop up and she would be smiling. I know she was honored!”
