She is also survived by many other cherished nephews and nieces. She graduated from Temple University as a Dental Hygienist and retired after serving over 35 years in the field. She loved to travel in her younger years and enjoyed games of scrabble and pinochle. She attended daily mass at St Anne's Retirement Home and enjoyed the daily activities and care that were provided by the staff. Her hobbies included restoring religious statues and just spending time with family and friends. We will miss her amazing sense of humor, beautiful smile, and her willingness to make everyone's day a little brighter. She was such a caring person and instilled in each of us that Family is very important and that we should cherish our moments together.
