“You have been told, O mortal, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you:
Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)
Betty Ann Goller, the eldest child of William and Margaret Goller, was born into a proud Irish family with German influence from her father. She grew up in a household rich in tradition and deeply rooted in Catholic values.
Betty Ann attended St. Agnes School in Bond Hill, Ohio, where she first encountered the Sisters of Notre Dame, a relationship that would shape the course of her vocation. After completing eighth grade, she became an aspirant and continued her education at Notre Dame Academy. As a senior in high school, she took the next step in her religious journey and became a postulant. Sister Mary Sharron was professed on August 16, 1959.
Sister Mary Sharron pursued higher education with dedication and purpose. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Villa Madonna College, now Thomas More University, and later completed a Master of Arts degree at the University of Kentucky. She also pursued further studies at Xavier University and received her Administrative Certificate.
Throughout her ministry, Sister Mary Sharron served in numerous schools across the Diocese of Covington and the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Her leadership and passion for Catholic education led her to serve as principal at Prince of Peace in Covington, Kentucky; St. Bernard in Taylor Creek, Ohio; and St. Charles in Carthage, Ohio.
In 2001, Sister Mary Sharron began a ministry especially dear to her heart at Holy Cross High School. There, she served as a special education teacher, religion teacher, and grant writer, touching countless lives with her compassion, patience, and wisdom. Even after her retirement in 2018, she continued to volunteer at Holy Cross for several years, demonstrating her unwavering love for the school community.
In November 2023, Sister retired to Lourdes Hall at the St. Charles Campus, where she spent her later days surrounded by the care and friendship of her religious community. Sister Mary Sharron passed away peacefully on January 30, 2026.
Sister Mary Sharon will be remembered for her deep faith, her steadfast service, and the many lives she shaped through education and commitment to her calling. Her legacy lives on in the students she nurtured, the schools she strengthened, and the community that loved her. May she enjoy the reward she so gracefully deserves.
