Ernestine Raclin services will be held Tuesday at Notre Dame's Basilica of the Sacred Heart

Services for Ernestine Raclin will be held Tuesday at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on Notre Dame's campus.

Raclin, who is arguably the most impactful woman in Michiana history, died last week at the age of 95.

She ran 1st Source Bank for more than 20 years at a time when only men ran banks.

She became the first woman to ever run a local chapter of United Way and she was the first woman to serve on the national United Way's Board of Governors.

She was a major force in the establishment of IUSB, The Stanley Clark School. WNIT-TV and other significant projects in Michiana.

Visitation will begin tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., followed by a prayer service and celebration of life at 3:30

ABC57.com will carry that service live,
