She is survived by her granddaughter Michele Harrington (Rochester), her son in law David McCarthy (Hannawa Falls), 2 great grandchildren David Costa (Syracuse) and Lauren Costa (Rochester) and one great-great grandson, Jaxson Costa (Syracuse).

A heartfelt thank you to family and friends that were near and dear to her that took the time out of their busy lives, to spend quality time with her, to take her to lunch, to run her errands and to be there when she needed you most. Much love to you all.
