She was looking forward to her first great-grandson in July. She will be known and remembered as a warm, loving, and caring person with a huge smile that could light up a room and always a lot of fun. And last but not least, she was a Diehard Notre Dame Fan!! She loved and enjoyed going to the football games and rooting on the “IRISH.” We can hear her saying “Go IRISH!”
