Her outstanding career included teaching and administrative positions at Ursuline schools in Galveston, Texas; Springfield, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri; and New Orleans, Louisiana. After 31 years in these ministries, she returned to Ursuline Academy of Dallas, where she served as President from 1989 to 2012.

Sister Margaret Ann received the Catholic Foundation Award in 2012 in recognition of her commitment to Catholic education and the Dallas community. She also served on the boards of Ursuline Academy of New Orleans, Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart in Houston, Alcuin Montessori School in Dallas, the Catholic Housing Initiative, and the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity.

May Sister Margaret Ann, a most gracious woman who showered all who knew her with kindness, love, humor and a generous spirit, rest in peace.
