This religious woman was the mother superior general of the congregation of Notre-Dame de la Compassion, in Lyon, who supported young girls in difficulty. She became involved in the resistance very early as an intelligence agent, and participated particularly in the rescue of Jewish children in connection with the cardinal Gerlier. She provided accommodated resisters of the STO (obligatory service work enforced by Germans upon the French) and kept weapons on behalf of the united movements of resistance until 1943. She was arrested on 24th March 1944 and interrogated in the local Gestapo base. She was transferred to Romainville and then deported to Ravensbruck when she was gassed on 30th March 1945.
