IN MEMORIAM Former faculty member
Sister Martha Gleason ’54,O.S.U. 1937–2021
Sister Martha Gleason ’54, O.S.U., a proud graduate of Ursuline Academy’s Arlington Street campus and a longtime faculty member, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2021 at Andrus on Hudson, Hastings on Hudson, New York. After high school, Martha attended the College of New Rochelle, the Catholic University of America, and the Weston School of Theology. By 1961, Sr. Martha was teaching Latin at Ursuline Academy in Springfield, MA. With the exception of one year spent teaching at the Academy of Mount St. Ursula, Martha spent the next 28 years teaching in Ursuline’s Northeast Province. Her teaching took her to Dedham and Springfield, Massachusetts, to Lewiston and Sanford, Maine, and back to Dedham. During this time she served as director of Maine’s Diocesan Office for Women Religious, as Provincial of the Northeast Province, and as co-chair of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in the Boston Archdiocese. On coming to the Eastern Province in 2014, Martha worked as Co-Director of Peer Ministry for several years at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle. Alumnae fondly recall Sister Martha’s ability to remember the name of every student in the school. Her genuine warmth, wit, and caring nature will be truly missed by all who knew her.
