GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Sister Mary Aquinas Weber, a pillar of the Aquinas College community, died Thursday, according to the college.
The Dominican Sister was 102, wrote Aquinas College President Sister Maureen Geary in a letter to alumni, donors and community members. Known as Sister Aquinas, Weber worked for the college nearly every day, picking up the phone to drum up donor support or sitting in on meetings to lend her expertise.

“It seems impossible to imagine Aquinas College without Sister Aquinas, yet she has prepared us well to carry on our mission,” Geary wrote. “Her spirit of service was an inspiration to all who knew her.

Visitation and funeral arrangement details will be shared as soon as they’re available, according to Geary…
