Picnics and vacations at the beach were treasured family times. Family and friends devoured her pepperoni rolls, spaghetti and meatballs, and Easter bread. She was actively involved in the lives of her grandchildren, attending sporting events, dance recitals, cheering competitions and band and choral concerts. All who knew her were touched by her kindness and beautiful smile.
