Pat Reif was a professor of philosophy at Immaculate Heart College, a feminist, and an activist.
Born May 6, 1929, she became a sister with the Immaculate Heart of Mary community in Los Angeles.
She earned two doctoral degrees (in philosphy and theology) and in the 1980s had an awakening to feminism as a result of hearing lectures by Nelle Morton and Anne McGrew Bennett.
In 1984 she founded the M.A. Program in Feminist Spirituality at the Immaculate Heart College Center.
Obituaries appeared in Time Magazine as well as the Los Angeles Times.
A memorial lecture series in her honor was begun at Claremont Graduate University, also sponsored by the Immaculate Heart Community.
