Amalia Brockmann was born in Westphalia, Germany on Sept. 8, 1861. She entered our convent at Clyde some time in 1889 and received the religious habit on Nov. 21 of that year. At her profession on November 21, 1890 she received the name of Sister M. Magdalena, and made her perpetual vows on February 14, 1898.
She was a saintly, motherly person, skillful in imparting spiritual counsel, and is gratefully remembered by the Sisters who had her as a substitute Novice Mistress for a time during their novitiate. She is also remembered as a very prayerful person.
Sister spent some years helping at the orphanage at Conception, and was infirmary cook at Clyde for a few years. The only other information we have about her is that she died of liver cancer on May 25, 1922 at the age of sixty-one.
