Scholastica Kohlleppel, a younger sister of Sister M. Edelburga, was born in Westphalia, Germany July 14, 1907 and came to Clyde just a year after her sister with another group of postulants from Europe, who entered October 21, 1923. She received the religious habit on August 30, 1924 and was professed as Sister M. Victoria on August 21, 1926.
Gifted with a very good voice, Sister was a member of the schola all her religious life. She, too, showed the influence of the Benedictine monastery near which her childhood home was situated, and loved the liturgy and community life. She worked in the church goods department at fine art embroidery and tambourine work. She was a sacrificial person, but had to curtail her activities because of a succession of ailments all her life, due basically to malnutrition during her adolescent years during the World War I. Sister loved prayer and was strongly drawn toward mysticism and interior converse with God.
She was stationed at Mundelein for some years and died there at the Waukegan hospital on May 27, 1958 at the age of fifty-one .
