Mom leaves so many loving members of her extended family as well as other families and their children who adopted her as their own.

 And now we say goodbye and Godspeed to the matriarch of 5 generations. To a woman whose entire life was devoted to her husband of 63 years and to her family. A dedicated wife, a mother and grandmother who gave us unconditional love and support. A woman of strength, beauty, kindness and faith. She was the definition of a “lady”. For all she taught us, for all she gave us and for all the wonderful memories; we are eternally grateful. Rest in peace now. We love you.

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all the staff on all shifts at North Adams Commons who gave her such extraordinary care and love. You became another extension of her “family”.
