On Saturday, January 6th, 2024, we lost the matriarch of our family! We had 103 years of wonderful memories with her and each of us will remember them fondly. She has touched many people in the 103 years she lived. She was a great human being and showered her family with unlimited love and opportunities. Our hearts are broken, but knowing the angels have led her quickly to her place where she will continue to watch over us all brings comfort and celebration for the time we had with her!
