 Obituary: Sister Rose, 83, also taught catechism. She retired 17 year ago 
 after a 46-year career. She had worked in the IHM Creativity Center in 
 Monroe after retirement and had prepared several craft items for sale for 
 the upcoming IHM crafts fair. When she died, all were on a small table 
 in her room, ready to be distributed. Sister Rose also enjoyed cooking and 
 sewing. She was one of 10 children born in Detroit's Corktown to Mary D.
 and Daniel A. Shanahan. She joined the convent in 1927. In her later years, 
 she reminisced about growing up in old Detroit and graduating from Holy
 Trinity High School. Her father and two of her brothers were Detroit 
 policemen. Only one sister survives in her family. Sister Rose earned a 
 bachelor's degree from Marygrove College and had a teaching certificate.
