Anna Hoheisel was born in Germany on January 11, 1857. Her family moved to a small farm near Leavenworth, KS  in the early 1870s. She entered Clyde on November 8, 1876. Her investment date was probably May 3, 1877 and her first profession was on May 3, 1878. On September 29, 1884 she was among the first twelve sisters to make perpetual monastic profession in our Congregation. 

Sister was a saintly, prayerful person, highly regarded by the Sisters, even as someone 'special'. She was especially devoted to nocturnal adoration. Sister was a person of many talents, well educated, and also a very good cook. Providing good meals for the community was somewhat of a problem in those pioneer days, when poverty greatly restricted the diet, and 'fasting' was not always a matter of ecclesial regulation.

Sister died after a long struggle with cancer on November 28, 1906, at the age of forty-nine. Rev. Father Henry Hoheisel, a priest from Papillion, NE, her biological brother, celebrated the Requiem Mass.
