She was a longtime member of St. Elizabeth's Church, Bear Creek. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Louis Nudo and Charles Nudo.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff at Allied Services Meade Street Community for their untiring compassion, caring and kindness. They are the best. A special thank you to Dr. Janusz Wolanin for his professionalism, experience and excellent care.

Surviving are her children, Mary Lu (Jack) Wirbicki, Mountain Top; David (Ellen) Parri, Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado; Samuel (M.J.)
