Born into a boisterous Irish family, she looked at life as a joyous adventure to be lived, pulling others into her circle, and supporting their dreams. She and Joe had six biological children, but her extended family included numerous cousins, students and friends And the common joke was that each and every one was her "favorite". She was always ready for adventure whether it was sailing with Joe as his rebellious first mate, camping, relocating to Puerto Rico, traveling to an English theme park with 6 kids and 6 (or more) adults in a compact hatchback, traveling and visiting her children and grandchildren internationally, or playing make believe in a closet with one of her grandchildren.
