An excellent seamstress, she helped take care of the ministers' robes at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Manhattan for many years. She also enjoyed crocheting.
"She was very kind and a caregiver for many people," said her son, Anthony (A.J.). She loved to make people happy."

Anthony, her husband of 31 years, died in 1991.
