On Sunday, October 19, 2003, Sr. Augustine Schaub died at Mohun Health Care

and a niece Kathy Dixon of Pataskala, many nieces and nephews and a good
friend Marie Lyons of New York. Sister attended Gahanna Grade School and
graduated from St. Mary of the Springs Academy. She received her BA degree

1930 she came to the Dominican Novitiate in Columbus, Ohio, and pronounced
her vows in 1932. She continued her studies at various higher education institutions
and received her Masters in Secondary Education from Notre Dame University.
Sr. Augustine's teaching ministry in the Columbus Diocese included Holy
Name in Columbus, St. Francis in Newark and St. Mary in Lancaster. She
taught business courses at Mary Immaculate School in Ossining, NY, (1938-47

time she directed the building of a new high school. Edward Mooney of
Ossining, former school trustee, remarked on her business acumen and foresight
in building the school in Ossining which served the community there.
Called into congregational service, Sr. Augustine then assumed the duties
of Development Director for the Dominican Sisters. She, also, served the
St. Pius Parish Community, Reynoldsburg, as a Parish Minister (1968-90)
