She worked with women who did so much with the success of World War II, doing industrial jobs while men were at war. Just as the name 'Rosie the Riverter' was coined to identify women who joined the war production, a special name for the San Antonio women was 'The Kelly Katies'. Mom loved to crochet and make us baby blankets and table cloths. And let us not forget the banana breads, pumpkin and apple cakes and last, but not least, our favoriteÉChewy's!!
