She was married at the Immaculate Conception Church by the pastor, Rev Robert Walsh, on Prescott Street in 1888. She would have some of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren be married in the same parish as the years passed.
Her husband worked at the Northworks steel mill on Grove Street near their North End neighborhood.
She was lucky that they bought the family home in 1896 because the rents that it generated helped her and her children when her husband died at a young age in 1908. He had been a severe drunk and often a hardship on the family but the family managed to keep the home in the family for many years with her son Philip and his family living there then her daughter Mary and her family living there.
Mary was devoted to her children and they were grief stricken when she died. She had been admitted to the Womens and Infants Free Hospital (UMASS/Memorial-Memorial Campus) for surgery and after the surgery and her recovery she was discharged. She walked out of the hospital and just a few feet from the main door collapsed and died.
