Fox, Rosanne, CSJ July 27, 1924 ~ May 15, 2018 A visionary; fierce advocate for the outcast; extraordinary woman of infinite energy, faith and perseverance; strong and generous presence to the overlooked and invisible, are just a few attributes those who knew her best use to describe Sister Rosanne (St. Angela) Fox, CSJ. Born Rose Ann Catherine Fox on a farm in Redwood Falls, MN, on July 27, 1924, Rosanne died peacefully on May 15, 2018 at Carondelet Village in St. Paul. After joining the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in 1941, Rosanne received a BA in English from the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul. Following 25 years of teaching at St. Leo, Holy Spirit, St. James and St. Louis schools in St. Paul, she served seven years as principal at St. Mary's School in Bird Island, MN. Rosanne received an MA in counseling from Loyola University in Chicago in 1971, before beginning a 34 year ministry at St. Olaf Church, where she tirelessly and joyfully served those most in need throughout the Minneapolis area. In 1974 she received the DIANA Award from Epsilon Sigma Alpha International, and in 1997 the "Distinguished Irish Woman of the Year" Award, recognizing her as an exemplary champion for the poor whose daily life embodied inspiring qualities of love, faith and courage. In her own words: "There are so many more things we should be doing to help raise the social consciousness of people, to make them aware of injustices of the poor."
