Her other volunteering and ministries for decades included Parish Religious Gift Store, Layettes for St. Joseph Center, Communion Ministry to the Homebound, cleaning of altar linens, and other outreach programs. She had a heart of gold and was always ready to help, lend a listening ear, and say a prayer.
