“Ducky” as she was lovingly known to her family and friends, was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Her faith, her family, and her home were the most important things in her life. She cared for all she loved, and had a long prayer list of intentions for others that were remembered during her daily Rosary. One of her most important possessions was her well worn Bible.

Ducky may have been small in stature, but her strength was mighty!
