She leaves her son, Jeffrey Rheaume of Chicopee, and daughters, Judith Rheaume of South Hadley, Mary Garvey (Alan) of Suffield, CT and Christine Isom (Gary) of Agawam.  She also leaves her dear grandchildren, Ryan Garvey and his wife Kimberly Phillips, Emily Garvey, Hannah Garvey, Chelsea Isom and Olivia Isom.
