One of the first women to study medicine in Ireland.  At the age of 56 Sybil joined the Medical Missionaries of Mary and spent the second half of her life in Eastern Africa caring for people in one of the remotest parts of Tanzania.

Her granddaughter  Jean Callanan and her grandnephew Mike Magan are seeking to help other nuns in central Africa who have devoted their lives to caring for others.
