Sr Martha Reeves (1941-2026)

Sr Martha Reeves, who wrote this blog and her many books under the pen-name Maggie Ross, passed away peacefully on June 11th 2026. She was visited by many friends and surrounded by love and prayer to the end. A simple funeral, with much silence, was held on the 2nd July. Her earthly body is buried in Botley cemetery in Oxford. The name-plate on her grave reads:


Sr Martha Emilie Reeves

In Silence Beholding 


Martha left behind an enormous body of unpublished writings, and it is hoped that a selection at least of these can be edited and published in the future.
