Her great-nieces and great-nephews are Gabe, Brian, Dominic, Kevin, Erin, Addy, and Ellie. Her presence in their lives was a constant source of love, encouragement, and warmth. She lit up when she spoke about all of them and never missed an opportunity to celebrate and praise their milestones. She also had a deep love for animals, especially her dogs, throughout her life. She was a proud and loving dog mom to many cherished companions including Kirk, Nya, Kai, and Ralphie. Ralphie remained faithfully by her side until her passing. A lover of the arts, she often gifted classic books or music. She attended many Broadway musicals and concerts. She was extremely crafty and was often crocheting and sewing. She was well-versed in many subjects. And she loved her retirement years in Arizona. She was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. We will miss engaging conversations with her, her unique laugh, and her companionship. She was one of a kind, and we are grateful to have had her in our lives.
