Nellie Gifford, with whom she made her home; her two loving grandchildren, Mark 
Hebert and his wife, Monique, of Enfield, and Lisa Hebert and her fiance, James 
Schneider, of Somers; her great-granddaughter, Nicole Hebert of Enfield; and many 
nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by three brothers, William, Joseph, and 
John Gifford, and three sisters, Josephine Jacobs, Alice Girard, and Florence 
Wethington.

A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 2, at Windsor Locks
