“There’s magic in a mother’s touch, and sunshine in her smile.”
‘To all of my friends and family, I’d like to say I’m thankful for all of our beautiful years. I enjoyed my life as a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, a witness, a true Newporter, dedicated moped rider and beach goer. For 40 years working as a nurse on Bellevue Ave., I loved my work and made many friends. I gave you all of my love and now it’s time to travel alone to be with my family. I won’t be far away, I’ll be near, for life goes on, through Terry, Nub’iel and Empress. I’ll be here waiting with God, Amen’
