Eight elderly nuns dead from COVID-19 at Wisconsin convent, four on same day

[NYP] Eight elderly nuns at a Wisconsin convent died of COVID-19 complications in the last week — including four who passed away on the same day.

The women were all in their late 80s and 90s and had been residing at Notre Dame of Elm Grove, a retirement home for sisters in suburban Milwaukee, authorities said.

"Even though they’re older... we didn’t expect them to go so, so quickly," said Sister Debra Marie Sciano. "It was just very difficult for us."

The congregation that runs the home found out on Thanksgiving Day that one of the 88 sisters who lived there had caught the deadly illness, said Sciano, the provincial leader for School Sisters of Notre Dame Central Pacific Province.
