She loved travel, visiting virtually every continent, though her beloved Montauk always remained her favorite. She delighted in all things Italian and spent many years studying the both the language and literature. She was a talented interior designer and seamstress and was a fabulous hostess and magnificent cook. No one ever went hungry in Mimi's kitchen.

Mimi will be remembered by all for her unwavering positive attitude, generous spirit, and indomitable strong will.
Her family will remember her most as a dedicated and loving wife, mother and grandmother whose absolute favorite pastime was her family. Nothing made Mimi happier than having her all children and grandchildren together under one roof. She will be deeply missed.
