Although cooking wasn’t her favorite thing to do she was always sure to bake her families favorite pies every single holiday. On beautiful sunny days you would find her sitting on the deck in the sun watching the birds. On chilly days she would be cuddled in GG’s chair in the den enjoying the fire. Either way, she always had a black lab at her feet. Regardless of the season when you walked into Mom-moms home she welcomed you with a hug and a sweet treat. A visitation will be held on Saturday, November 2nd from 2:00-4:00pm, with a service at 4:00 pm at Garefino Funeral Home, 12 N. Franklin St., Lambertville, NJ 08530.
