Sister Elizabeth came from Germany to Australia in 1953 appointed to PNG. However, she did not get there and spent over 60 years in Australia. She was involved in education and principal of the Catholic primary school in Wattle Park. From 1989-2010, she worked with German migrants with involvement in ministry to German Catholics in Australia.

May she rest in peace.

Two photos came from the archives, Sister Elizabeth and the Wattle Park choir with singer and entertainer, Kamahl. It was 1971 and the cause was children injured in the Vietnam war.
