A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Sept. 3 at the motherhouse chapel of the Sister of St. Francis of Oldenburg, Ind., for Sister Anna Marie Stier, who died Aug. 30 at St. Clare Hall. Sister Anna Marie, a native of Greensburg, Ind., was 100 years old and had been a Sister of St. Francis for 80 years.

Sister Anna Marie retired in 1991.

She is survived by two sisters, Loretta Zoellner of Indianapolis and Margaret Feldman of Virginia.
