She married her husband Bill, a retired NYPD Assistant Chief, on September 14, 1968 at Holy Name church in Park Slope, with whom she had just celebrated her 52nd year of marriage. They eventually settled in Mill Basin on Avenue T, where she lived for 48 years.
Although she lost her mother to cancer at a young age, she went on to become an exceptional mom to three sons, Billy, Michael, and Joseph. Billy, an NYPD Inspector, still resides in Mill Basin. Michael, a Managing Director with Deloitte, settled in Boston. Joseph, an NYPD Captain, resides in Pelham, NY. She was always the “cool mom” to all their friends playing wiffle ball and basketball in their backyard.
She eventually became a mother-in-law to Kim and Sara – and she loved having daughters (although she always swore to her three sons that she only wanted boys!).
She went on to become a grandmother of five and she adored them all – Abigail, Charlotte, Isla, Owen, and Ethan. Her son Mike recalls the most excited he ever saw her was when he first told her she was going to be a Grammy - she literally jumped with joy. She will be an angel on their shoulders looking over them always, for the rest of their lives.
Wake services will be at Marine Park Funeral Home from 2-6PM on Wednesday, September 30, followed by a funeral service at St. Columba Roman Catholic Church at 10AM on Thursday, October 1.
