Saint Mother Theodore Guerin died May 14, 1856. The news was made known in the Terre Haute, Ind., area via the May 17 issue of the Wabash Courier Weekly. In this issue, the editor wrote about Mother Theodore:

“It is with sorrow we have to announce the death of the Mother Superior of the Catholic Female Seminary at St. Marys, in this county. Her death took place at the Seminary on Wednesday last, after a lingering illness. Mother Superior was a kind hearted and excellent matron. She will be long remembered by young ladies who have been educated at the place. She often sat a half hour in our sanctum, giving us good advice, and answering any inquiry we might be curious to make. She spoke beautifully, and intelligently on any subject introduced.”
