Our mom was a devoted wife to our dad, an amazing mother, and a fun grandmother. She was a world traveler who could not wait to plan her next adventure. She enjoyed playing cards, going to the casino, and celebrating the holidays with her family. The impact mom has left on all of us can’t be expressed in words and our love for her is impossible to measure.
There is a Mass of Christian Burial scheduled at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 11:00 AM with Fr. Mike Suszynski, celebrant. Burial will follow in Florida National Cemetery. Friends may visit the family at the Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home from 10:00 AM until 10:45 AM, at which time the procession will depart for the church.
