芝加哥羅耀拉大學籃球隊深受愛戴的吉恩修女逝世,享年 106 歲
SISTER JEAN, BELOVED CHAPLAIN FOR LOYOLA CHICAGO BASKETBALL TEAM, DIES AT 106
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Our coverage of this story has moved here.
Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the beloved chaplain for the Loyola Chicago basketball team, has died at 106, the university said late Thursday.
"Loyola University Chicago is greatly saddened to confirm the death of Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, BVM," a statement posted to social media read. "This is a tremendous loss of someone who touched the lives of so many people. We appreciate everyone's thoughts & prayers during this difficult time. Details to follow."
Sister Jean has been a cherished chaplain at Loyola University for decades, but she shot to international stardom as the Ramblers chief cheerleader when the men's basketball team went on a Cinderella run in 2018.
"I can't believe any of this," Sister Jean said. "I just thought I'd be an elementary school teacher all my life."
機翻
芝加哥洛約拉大學週四晚間宣布,深受愛戴的籃球隊牧師吉恩·多洛雷斯·施密特修女逝世,享年106歲。 芝加哥洛約拉大學在社交媒體上發布聲明稱:“學校非常悲痛地確認吉恩·多洛雷斯·施密特修女去世。她曾感動了無數人,失去她,這對我們來說是一個巨大的損失。我們感謝大家在這個艱難的時刻給予我們的慰問和祈禱。詳情將另行通知。” 吉恩修女幾十年來一直是洛約拉大學備受敬愛的牧師,但她在2018年男子籃球隊“灰姑娘”式的比賽中,作為“漫步者”隊首席啦啦隊隊員,一舉成名,一舉成名。
吉恩修女說:“我簡直不敢相信這一切。我原以為我會一輩子當一名小學老師。”
That run came 99 years after her birth. Jean Dolores Schmidt was born in 1919 in San Francisco. She says she knew in the third grade that she wanted to be a nun. At 18, she entered the convent and spent the next two decades teaching and coaching sports in Chicago, Los Angeles and North Hollywood. Then in 1961, she took a job teaching at an all-women's Catholic college near Loyola University.
In 1994, she became Loyola's basketball chaplain. That title would later make her a household name, but to Loyola students, she always held star power.
In addition to teaching, she worked to expand higher education opportunities to immigrant students, and she helped start a program that pairs students with seniors in a retirement community, both of which are accomplishments that helped her earn the 2018 senior hall of fame award.
It seems everyone has wanted to be close to the good grace of Sister Jean. There have been clothes, LEGO statues and bobbleheads all dedicated to her.
She joined members of the Ramblers team to throw out the first pitch at a Cubs game, and even made a live appearance on Good Morning America.
Loyola showed her just how much she's loved, throwing a massive bash for her 100th birthday.
Through it all she remained a humble servant of God, dedicated to helping people, passing down lessons from her past.
"You can't be somebody different, you have to be yourself, the person God wanted you to be. And so just use the talents that God's given you and just live your life," Sister Jean said. "You have to be happy. You have to convey happiness, and you have to show people that you yourself are happy to make other people happy."
Cardinal Blase Cupich said in a statement, "Sister Jean, our beloved friend and inspiration went home to the Lord today. She nurtured the mind and spirit of her students and all who came to know her with dedication, a firm belief in our faith and a sharp sense of humor. May she rest in the peace she so richly deserves."
