Sister Arturo Cranston, OP, died April 10, 2022.

Professed in 1956, she taught music in the following schools: St. Cajetan, Chicago; St. Peter, Anaconda, MT; Bethlehem Academy, Faribault, MN; St. Robert, Shorewood, WI; Regina, Minneapolis; Dominican, Whitefish Bay, WI; Sacred Heart Academy, Washington, DC; St. Mary, Piscataway, MD; and SS. Faith, Hope, and Charity, Winnetka, IL. She studied recreation and natural resources and combined all her passions as director of Camp WeHaKee (now WeHaKee Camp for Girls) in Winter, WI. Sr. Arturo dedicated herself to building up the physical camp and developing young women who were confident and compassionate. She believed a strong person was one who showed respect for others and could have honest, forthright conversations that led to a peaceful outcome. “Peace is the resolution of conflict, not the absence of conflict,” Sr. Arturo said. Her last fulltime ministry was serving as prioress of St. Dominic Villa, Hazel Green, WI.

Services will be at Sinsinawa April 19-20. Miller Funeral Home is handling arrangements. May she rest in peace.
