A family statement said: "Our mom was the most selfless person we knew. Always doing whatever it took to keep us all moving forward. She was always willing to drop everything to play a game anytime anywhere. Be it dice, cards, or a board game. She could make us laugh, even when it may have been considered inappropriate. Crossword puzzles were no match for her and her extreme vocabulary. Our family lost a true gem when our Lord called Mom home."
Visitation was held April 10 at the Donovan Funeral Home, Goshen. A Mass of Christian burial was held April 11, 2017 at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, Goshen. Burial followed in Wallkill Cemetery, Middletown, N.Y.
