What you Remembered for

Her love for her family never left her. She loved her husband the first time she saw him and he saw her. Her grandkids and great grandkids were the joy of her life, she always loved to talk about them to everyone. She was very proud. She cherished her children and knew they wanted the best for her even though she thought they were bossing her around the last few years, but she knew it was for the best and never stopped loving them. She had wonderful friendships and neighbors and always kept in touch. She was a strong woman and fought hard every time she was against a battle, whether it was a health issue or the loss of a loved one and from her beliefs it taught us what a family is truly all about, Love!! 

Liked to be Remembered

Her family and her upbringing. She was very close to her siblings and never forgot about her nieces and nephews always on board with the McGrath trips. Her love of the holidays and everyone together meant the world to her, never left anyone out even if they were a stranger. Her Irish heritage was very important. Her love for clothes and bright colors were important to her always wanted her hair to look nice especially if she was to see her brother because he believed your hair should always look nice and that haunted her. She loved her flowers in the summer and always told us you better have tomatoes.
