Former Mormon May Become A Catholic Saint

I've never heard of Cora Louise Evans before. There isn't much information about her, but it looks like she might be the first ex-Mormon to become a Catholic saint. Maybe she can become the patron saint of ex-Mormonism?

From Saint to saint
A former Latter-day Saint is on the path to becoming a Catholic saint.
Cora Louise Evans was born in 1904 in Ogden, according to the Catholic National Register, and married in the Salt Lake Temple before growing disillusioned with Mormonism.
“I was without a God and religion but had gained a very wonderful husband. As I looked at him and learned to love him more and more, I resolved to help find a God for him,” she once said. “...After 10 years of searching, we found the one true God in the Roman Catholic Church.”
She also found — and wrote about — profound visions (some dating to her childhood), the article notes, witnessing the Virgin Mary and many events in Christ’s life. California’s Diocese of Monterey says she also experienced “stigmata,” the Los Angeles Times reports, suffering unexplained wounds matching those Jesus endured during his crucifixion.
Evans, who died in 1957, recorded her encounters in “The Refugee From Heaven,” which is now among the thousands of pages of documents being studied after U.S bishops voted to see whether this Catholic mystic is worthy of beatification and canonization.
