At the time of her death Mom was the oldest member of Saint Peter’s. Mom was a loving and devoted Mother who took great pride in the accomplishments of her children. She enjoyed music; learning to play the violin later in life. She loved and enjoyed all animals, especially Max who would visit her regularly.
