Sister Thea Sandusky celebrated her 104th birthday on Benet Hall at the Monastery with balloons, cake, and ice cream with many of her Sister friends in attendance. From the time she turned 100 years, she continued to argue that she “really couldn’t be that old.” 
Sister was born in 1908 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and entered St. Scholastica Monastery in 1958. 
A life-long lover of classical music and literature, especially the writing of Pulitzer and Nobel prize-winner Pearl Buck, she also enjoyed a good mystery and appreciated the large-print books available to her from the Duluth Library.
