Her greatest love was for her family, she never forgot a birthday, sometimes calling the day before, so she can still make bingo.

She is also survived by her three sisters and two brothers: Agnes (Steven) McKeon, Julia Richards, Anita (Al) Miller, Patrick (Debbie) Hurley Jr., and John (Donna) Hurley; and several nieces, nephews & friends.
