 Sr.
Regina Ann Hinnebusch, OP
February 3, 1910 – November 3, 2002
I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I shall live.
Psalm 23
Sr. Regina Ann Hinnebusch, who had served faithfully as a Dominican Sister
for seventy years, died November 3rd at Mohun Health Care Center, in the
presence of her sister and her brother and Fr. Joseph, O.P., the chaplain.
She had spent 39 years of her teaching ministry in her home Diocese of
Pittsburgh. As an elementary teacher, she worked for 12 years at St. Brendan’s
and for nine years at St. Thomas, both in Braddock. She also served for
eleven years at St. Lawrence O’Toole School. Her other assignments
took her to many schools in the Columbus and Steubenville Dioceses and
in the New York area.
Sister was born in Pittsburgh in 1910, one of ten children of John and
Anna Mary (Stratemeier) Hinnebusch. Theirs was a remarkable family in
that four of the boys became Dominican priests and three of the girls
entered the Dominican Sisters in Columbus, Ohio. She is survived by her
sister, Sr. Claire, O.P. in Columbus, her brother, Fr. John Hinnebusch,
O.P. in Washington, D.C., two sisters-in-law, Margaret of Kenton, OH,
and Anne of Pittsburgh, as well as several nieces and nephews.
The funeral liturgy was celebrated by Fr. John Hinnebusch in the Motherhouse
Chapel in Columbus, and she was buried in St. Joseph’s Cemetery.
