A former Roman Catholic nun who is president of a Catholic college that altered its status to a secular institution was married here yesterday to a Jewish business executive from New Jersey. The former Sister Jacqueline Grennan, 42, became Mrs. Paul Joseph Wexler in a private ceremony on the campus of Webster College which she heads.
Mr. Wexler, a 49-year-old widower with two children, is president of Orpheum Productions, Inc., a recording company. Mrs. Wexler who is nationally known as a brilliant educator, was granted permission to leave the religious order of the Sisters of Loretto in 1967 but remained as president of Webster after its transfer from the order to private ownership. The couple will live in Tenafly, New Jersey.
