She leaves behind cherished memories filled with her unmistakable personality, loyalty, and heart.

Visitation will be held at F.E. Brown Sons Funeral Home in Orchard Park, NY on Monday, January 19th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm with a funeral service to follow at 12:00 pm and procession to Woodlawn Cemetery thereafter. The family kindly asks that attendees wear an item of clothing to support her hometown spirit of the Buffalo Bills.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Buffalo Bills Foundation, which helps support children facing hunger across Western New York.
