Mary's sister, Margaret "Peggy" Catherine Ahl (1923–2007) was also an RN. She entered the Daughters of Charity in 1943. During the ensuing 35 years, she became known as Sister Angelica. After that, she resumed her own name – "Sister Margaret." In 2000, after 63 years with DC, she retired. An impetus for her lifelong commitment to charity was the untimely death in 1940 of her mother, Mary E. Ahl (née Connolly; 1890–1940).

Industry notes

• 1986: Nursing Practice Bill, which, as proposed, would mandate either two years of college training for the title "associate nurse" or four years for the title "nurse." It would give "grandfather" protection to all present L.P.N.S and hospital nursing-school R.N.S who would retain their licenses. (did this pass in New York?)
