‘Mamie’, as she was known to her grandchildren, and great grandchildren, was beloved. She was full of life and her wonderful smile and welcoming presence made all feel at home.

She made friends easily and remained lifelong friends with folks from her childhood in South Boston and the telephone company. She was a 2nd Mom to several of her childhood friend’s children and grandchildren. Mamie provided an incredible example of how to love and care for others.
