Marianne Cope
Marianne Cope was born on January 23, 1838. She felt called to the religious life at a young age but due to family matters, it was delayed several years. When she turned 24 she became apart of the Sisters of St. Francis in New York.
During her time as a Sister, she helped establish the first two hospitals in New York. After this, she became a nurse administrator at St. Joseph's in Syracuse, New York.
Often she was criticized by her peers due to the acceptance of outcast patients. But from this, she became a respected individual in the Syracuse, New York Area.
After this Sister Marianne Cope and six others would head for Honolulu, Hawaii in 1883. They began to clean and attend to the 200 patients of the Kaka'ako Branch Hospital. Eventually, the hospital would be shut down due to a change of Government.
Sister Marianne Cope went on to help several others in her life. She eventually died in Hawaii. Her death due to natural causes and the date of the death was August 9th, 1918. She was beautified in 2005 (which means the official act of the pope whereby a deceased person is declared to be enjoying the happiness of heaven, and therefore a proper subject of religious honor and public cult in certain places.) declared a saint by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012.
