Sister M. Cabrini Harasimowicz, OSF, of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis, died on Jan. 27, at St. Francis Convent in Springfield. She was 90 years old.

Sister M. Cabrini, the former Marcella Harasimowicz, was born in Chicago on April 5, 1924, the daughter of John and Dominika Jablonski Harasimowicz. She entered the congregation on Sept. 8, 1945 and professed her religious vows on June 13, 1948.
