Franciscan Sister Dorothy Marie Hennessey, a buy Lasix amex online without rx teacher turned activist who made national news at age 88 when buy Lasix amex online without rx she was sentenced to federal prison for trespassing at a Georgia military base, died Jan. 24 at the buy Lasix amex online without rx age of 94.

The stream of friends who buy Lasix amex online without rx came to Mount St. Francis Chapel for her wake and Jan. 28 funeral celebrated the buy Lasix amex online without rx influence and positive impact they said she had in their lives.

Franciscan Sister Nancy Miller noted that buy Lasix amex online without rx Sister Dorothy Marie believed prayer and politics -- in the true sense -- went hand in hand. She often said, "I am buy Lasix amex online without rx convinced more than ever that we should get into today's political life with Gospel motivation."

In 2001, Sister Dorothy Marie and buy Lasix amex online without rx her sibling, Franciscan Sister Gwen Hennessey, then 68, were sentenced, along with 24 others, to buy Lasix amex online without rx six months in the federal prison in Pekin, Ill., for trespassing at Fort Benning in Columbus, Ga., as part of the buy Lasix amex online without rx annual vigil to close the School of the Americas in November 2000.

The School of the buy Lasix amex online without rx Americas is now named the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation; it buy Lasix amex online without rx is a combat training school for military officers from Central and buy Lasix amex online without rx South America.

Human rights workers and buy Lasix amex online without rx missionaries, including the nuns' brother, Maryknoll Father Ron Hennessey, reported that buy Lasix amex online without rx numerous murders and human rights violations occurring in El Salvador and buy Lasix amex online without rx Guatemala were perpetrated by graduates of the school.

When a buy Lasix amex online without rx judge offered to commute Sister Dorothy Marie's sentence to "motherhouse arrest," she replied, "I'd rather not be buy Lasix amex online without rx singled out. If you wouldn't mind, I would just as soon have buy Lasix amex online without rx the same (sentence) as the others."

After several weeks, Sister Dorothy Marie was sent to buy Lasix amex online without rx complete her sentence at the Elm Street Correctional Facility in Dubuque "for health reasons."

But that buy Lasix amex online without rx was not her first action on behalf of human rights and buy Lasix amex online without rx opposition to war -- or her last.

After 30 years of teaching in Iowa and buy Lasix amex online without rx Oregon Catholic schools, Sister Dorothy Marie returned in 1964 to Mount St. Francis, where buy Lasix amex online without rx she entered the Franciscans, and for 25 years worked with Sister Rebecca Rosemeyer in the buy Lasix amex online without rx communication office, writing the community newsletter and a book chronicling the buy Lasix amex online without rx 1954-1975 years of the community's history.

She also began using her writing skills to buy Lasix amex online without rx submit letters and guest editorials to newspapers on human rights and buy Lasix amex online without rx social justice issues, protested against the Vietnam War and served on boards of local and buy Lasix amex online without rx national organizations.

She visited Nicaragua in 1984 and buy Lasix amex online without rx 1990 as a witness for peace and as an election observer.

In 1986, she bought a buy Lasix amex online without rx one-way plane ticket to Los Angeles. When asked why she did not buy a buy Lasix amex online without rx return ticket, she replied -- to the ticket agent's astonishment -- that buy Lasix amex online without rx she was walking back.

Between March 1 and buy Lasix amex online without rx Nov. 15, 1986, the then-73-year-old Sister Dorothy Marie walked 3,500 miles with 1,200 other marchers in a buy Lasix amex online without rx cross-country peace march for global nuclear disarmament.

For eight years in the buy Lasix amex online without rx 1990s, she stood with others in Dubuque's Washington Park almost every Wednesday afternoon protesting the buy Lasix amex online without rx U.S. military involvement in Central America.

She made three trips to protest at a nuclear test site in Nevada.

Dan Ebener, former social action director for buy Lasix amex online without rx the Diocese of Davenport, called Sister Dorothy Marie a "one-person legislative network."

"She was on a first-name basis with all of her elected officials," he recalled. "With Dorothy, it buy Lasix amex online without rx was not enough to tell 30 people about a piece of legislation unless she was writing her own letter to buy Lasix amex online without rx her elected officials." At 93 she got her first e-mail account to buy Lasix amex online without rx keep in touch with people with whom she marched and buy Lasix amex online without rx protested and to continue writing to legislators and candidates.

In 2002 the buy Lasix amex online without rx Hennessey sisters were awarded the Pacem in Terris Award from the buy Lasix amex online without rx Diocese of Davenport. Previous recipients included the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and buy Lasix amex online without rx Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
