She loved spending time with her children and grand children and recently a great granddaughter.

She is also survived by five grandchildren: Erin Catucci (Andy), Lillian Willis, Bryan Willis, Callie Hucks, Tyler Hucks, and one great grand child, Isabella Catucci. In addition, Terry Willis (mother of Lillian and Bryan).
