She s in Indianapolis this week, to cheer on her Loyola Ramblers in the NCAA tournament. Being Cinderella happens I think only once in a lifetime, said Sr. Jean Delores Schmidt.
At 101 years old, Sister Jean has had a pretty good lifetime. But her beloved Loyola Ramblers are no longer the Cinderella story they were in 2018 when as a number 11 seed they went on a roll that took them all the way to the Final Four.
It made their then 98-year-old chaplain, Sister Jean, a celebrity. She s a very unselfish, giving person. The university is blessed to have her and just stands for and what she represents, said David Kupiece, President, Loyola Alumni Board.
