Sister M. Titus Joseph O.Carm. passed away peacefully at St. Patrick’s Manor, Framingham, MA on the night of October 14, 2025, in the 64th year of her religious life. The Sisters had been in and out of her room throughout the day, and Sr. Michelle of All Saints had faithfully sat at Sister Titus’ bedside during the past few days.
Lois Ann Ramsbottom was born on February 23, 1936, in Philadelphia, PA. Her parents, William and Louise (nee McCloskey) Ramsbottom, and older brother, Bill, a Christian Brother, pre-deceased her.
Sister Titus Joseph entered the Congregation on September 7, 1961, professed First Vows on April 1, 1964, and made her Perpetual Profession of Vows on September 8, 1969. Her Missions included Sacred Heart Home, Philadelphia, PA (1964-1965 and 1970-1971), The Pennsylvania, West Palm Beach, FL (1965-1970 and 1971-1994), Carmel Manor, Fort Thomas, KY (1994-1998); and then returned to Lourdes Noreen McKeen Residence, West Palm Beach, FL (1998-2023). Due to her increasing care needs, Sister Titus was admitted to St. Patrick’s Manor on July 12, 2023.
Sister Titus spent most of her religious life at West Palm Beach, where she was known and loved by the Sisters, residents, staff, families, volunteers, and all who interacted with her along the way. She served generously in the various ministry roles she was assigned to, including housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, and security. Always generous in responding to the needs of others, she was willing to drive those needing a ride to a doctor’s appointment, the airport, or wherever necessary. No doubt, Sister Titus will not be forgotten in any of the Missions she was assigned to!
Now that she has completed her earthly journey, may Sister M. Titus Joseph be welcomed to her everlasting home in heaven. May Our Loving God grant her the fullness of eternal peace, as His Love embraces her for all eternity!
