She was a master seamstress for many years at Park Fashions, working long hours to fulfill the American dream. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, always compassionate and lending a helping hand to many in need throughout the years, until her ill health. Her love of children led her to do volunteer work in the children’s floor of St. James’s Hospital. As a devout Catholic, she never missed a day to say the rosary.
