Sister Christine Bramlet

Sister Christine Bramlet died peacefully at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Alton, Illinois on February 15, 2013.

She was born September 24, 1930 in Springfield, IL, the daughter of Raydell Nathan Bramlet and Loraine Lucy Zink Bramlet.

Sister Christine, baptized Loraine Lucy Bramlet, had one brother, Edward, who preceded her in death. Sister Christine will be missed by her Ursuline Sisters; her sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Growing up thinking she wanted to be a Religious Sister, Christine entered the Ursuline Order in July, 1948, making vows on January 16, 1951. She taught young children in Arcadia and Kirkwood, MO; and secondary students in Jennings, MO and Springfield, IL. She served as community treasurer in Dallas and Laredo, TX and Springfield, IL; and was business manager in Decatur, IL. She moved from the Ursuline Community in Springfield, IL to our Ursuline Infirmary in Alton, IL on May 13, 2005. Christine said that her life was about people, not about where she worked or what she did.

Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated on Wednesday, February 20 at 10:00 a.m. at the Ursuline Convent Chapel, 845 Danforth Street; Alton, IL with Father Steve Pohlman as celebrant. Visitation will be in the chapel beginning at 9:30. Christine will be buried in Calvary Cemetery in Springfield, IL.
