She passed away on March 31st after a short but strong fight with pancreatic cancer. She attended Dobbs Ferry schools and graduated in 1962. She was very proud of her athletic achievement while at DF High School winning awards in track & field, softball and volleyball. After school she worked in her Uncle Sam's restaurant with her family.

She spent her life raising her two children Brian and Kathleen, and caring for her grandchildren. She was very active in her children's grade school, Sacred Heart of Dobbs Ferry, serving on many committees and was co-president of the Home and School Association and a Co-Chairperson of the fundraising committee. She and her close friend Geraldine Mullen started the Limited Ticket Raffle for Scared Heart which is still one of the major fundraisers for the Sacred Heart-Our Lady of Pompeii parish.
