Being deeply religious she visited many sacred shrines in Europe, including Lourdes in France where she felt its healing powers. She lived life to the fullest in her 95 years. It was a life that was filled with her faith in God, her love of home, family, music, dancing, ice cream, and her extensive collection of rooster-themed knickknacks. Yes, she did enjoy an occasional trip with her siblings to play the slot machines. Her wonderful life will be celebrated by a visitation beginning at 5 PM on September 13, 2017, followed by a rosary at 7 PM, and a Catholic mass which will be held on September 14, 2017 at the San Isidro Catholic Church in Garfield at 10 AM.
