Ann, Mary and Paul
Twomey's third child, took a completely different route from the
rest of her siblings. Much to her mothers pride, Ann joined the
Sisters of St. Joseph. In joining the Sisters of St. Joseph, Ann
took vows of chastity and poverty. During the famine Ann, along
with the other sisters, did their best to minister to the poor
and suffering; however, there was little they could do. Eventually,
Ann contracted Typhus from one of the poor starving retches that
came to the sister in search of food. Within a week, she was buried
in the local church yard.
