Arrangements have been set for the two nuns who died Sunday afternoon in an 11-vehicle crash at 95th Street and Cicero Avenue in Oak Lawn.

Sisters Jean Stickney, 86, and Kab Kyoung Kim, 48, both of the Little Company of Mary Sisters, died at the scene when their eastbound car was waiting on a red light and was struck head-on by a pickup truck.

The wake and funeral for each nun will be held simultaneously, said Kelly Cusack, spokeswoman for Little Company of Mary Hospital, where the nuns worked.

Visitation will be from 1 to 8 p.m. Monday in the second-floor chapel in the north pavilion at the hospital, 2800 W. 95th St., Evergreen Park, Cusack said.

A funeral Mass will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Bernadette Catholic Church, 9343 Francisco Ave., Evergreen Park. The church is just north of the hospital.

The driver of the truck, Ed Carthans, 81, of Chicago, also died in the accident, which sent 11 people to local hospitals for treatment.
