Our Mother was a member of Saint Mary’s Cathedral Alter Society, was a school volunteer, and church choir member. We will never forget hearing her beautiful soprano voice ringing throughout the Cathedral during Mass as we sat in the pew below with our dad!
Our Mom found her greatest happiness in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Our mother, Nana, Nana the great-taught all of us how to love have hope and to have strong faith. She loved us all dearly and we knew it. She will be in our hearts every day. We will think of her with a smile every time we see a lady-bug, when we were children we named them Elizabeth Lucille in her honor, she was such a “Lady”.
She will be sorely missed by all of us however we rejoice in the fact she has joined our dad in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. Her work here on earth is completed and she can rest with no pain and worries.
