We have cherished memories of family times throughout generations from gathering her children around her baby grand piano for family sing-alongs, to many memorable trips to visit her relatives in Denver and to the Jersey Shore, to serving as a Girl Scout Leader and Cub Scout Leader, to playing Rummikub with her grandchildren, to having slumber parties with her great-grandchildren into her nineties, to sending greeting cards for every occasion celebrated. Private services including a Mass were held August 3, 2016 with Reverend Tom Holder of Our Lady of the Presentation and interment in Forest Hill Cemetery.
