Rest In Peace Mama, we will love you forever. I am sure he was at the Pearly Gates with his bike waiting for her. But her most favorite thing of all was being behind Fred on the Harley and taking a nice long day trip. She loved to play poker, go to bingo and the casino. She was a devoted wife and her grandchildren adored her to pieces. She was a selfless Mother, putting us first always. Learning as she went she became quite known for it all! She has passed some of those talents to us girls, especially the baking! Her baking skills also surpassed that of a novice. She canned everything she could and even made homemade pickles and sauerkraut. She could make anything you wanted, and she did! She also was an avid gardener, growing everything we needed. She acquired her GED after her 4th child was born. She never finished high school, opting to get married and start her family. She encouraged us kids to play sports and tried to make each and every game. She worked the concession stand at Volunteers Field to many times to count. She found time for all of this and still was an ever attentive Mom to us all. She was one of the founders of the annual Halloween parade and the Corn Fest. She served on community council and was an active member of the democratic committee. She was also an active member of the Carrick Community. She was passionate about kids, education and neighborhood schools. The caveat was that the job would not be a paid position. Mom was an integral part of changing the PGH School Board from an appointed position to an elected position.
