Answer 2

I know there is a Roseanna Roach buried in the graveyard used by the nuns in Dubuque, Iowa.  I have a photo.  Most likely not yours, but who knows?

My great great aunt was a nun there too.  Her name was Della Roach, switched to Sister Mary St Pius upon entering the convent.

The grave markers list the date they entered the convent, not their birth date---and the date of death.
