She was the ninth of fifteen children and loved her siblings deeply. After graduating from Ludlow High School in 1960, she went on to marry, start a family and career.

An avid sports fan, she especially loved supporting her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a loyal employee of Dow Jones for 33 years, making many lifelong friends. Upon retirement in 2002 she enjoyed going to the casino, making puzzles and playing cards with family and friends. Family was her greatest achievement. She selflessly dedicated herself to caring for and raising her children and grandchildren.

She will be forever cherished and remembered by her 4 grandchildren Shannan, Kaila, Ashley, Danielle and their spouses, as well as her 7 great-grandchildren Devin, Ethan, Bridget, Ariel, Aiden, Jaxon and Norah.
