in Ireland, Florida, and New York City. She was predeceased by two sisters, Joanne and Phyllis.

The funeral service will be held at 9:15 a.m. Friday, June 1, from the Carmon Windsor Funeral 
Home, 807 Bloomfield Ave., Windsor, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at St. 
Gabriel Church, Windsor. Burial will be in Palisado Cemetery, Windsor.
