Mom worked at Wrigley's known for their famous chewing gum along with dad until he passed away in 1966 and she had to quit work to take care of the kids. She had to start working again around 1977 and worked at a printing company named Sunset which later changed its name to NuArt. There she not only worked on creating the products but did the inspection of such products for release to customers. The products she worked so hard on were business cards, matchbooks, Thank You cards etc. She worked there until her retirement age.

Over the years she suffered from very bad rheumatoid arthritis in her hands, back and other joints restricting her grip, reach, walking and standing. Fell and suffered a broken hip 3 years ago from which she never truly recovered.

She passed peacefully at Silver Cross Hospital where she was admitted one week prior. Although we were not able to be with her due to COVID  we hope she could feel our love surrounding her. We love you. Rest in peace.

Mom “YOU” truly are our "One of a Kind"
