Sister Mary Virginia, educator and leader
Sister Mary Virginia Sullivan, president of Our Lady of Cincinnati College in the 1960s, died Monday at Franciscan Hospital in Mt. Airy. She was 91.
Sister Mary Virginia, of the Religious Sisters of Mercy, was identified with Our Lady of Cincinnati - which became Edgecliff College - for 32 years. She was the college's first academic dean and its president from 1960 to 1967.
In 1967, Sister Mary Virginia was appointed provincial director of higher education for the Sisters of Mercy. She was a member of the order for 69 years.
Xavier University President Rev. James E. Hoff, S.J., extended his "deepest condolences to members of the Sullivan family, the Sisters of Mercy and all those affiliated with Our Lady of Cincinnati/Edgecliff College."
"Her legacy lives on in the thousands of alumnae whose lives she touched and who daily make valuable contributions to the family, civic and religious life of Cincinnati and the world," Father Hoff said.
Xavier annually bestows the Sister Mary Virginia Sullivan Award to an alumna of Our Lady of Cincinnati/Edgecliff College who exemplifies the life of service that marked her tenure at the institution.
The 1997 recipient of the award, Theresa Bruemmer, class of 1959 and director of Pregnancy Problem Center East, said of Sister Mary Virginia, "I just loved her. She was a treasure and a big part of my life. I am sure she is now just rejoicing in heaven."
The London, Ohio, native entered the order after graduation from the College of Saint Mary of the Springs ( Ohio Dominican College) in Columbus and received her master of arts degree from Marquette University.
In 1964, Xavier University awarded her an honorary doctor of laws degree and in 1974 Edgecliff College - which later joined Xavier - conferred an honorary doctor of laws degree on her.
She was a member of numerous professional and civic organizations, including the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Red Cross.
She leaves cousins, Jo Ann Sullivan Murtagh of Toledo and Ursuline Sister Jeanne Marie Casey of New Rochelle, N.Y.
