Mom attended St. Monica’s School of Business in Philadelphia class of 1949. She was employed by Liberty Fish Company in Philadelphia as Secretary and Office Manager for 35 years. Retired and moved to Vero Beach for several years she worked as a Certified Florida Evaluator. In her later years, volunteering at Kennedy Hospital in Sewell, NJ, was quite rewarding. Mom enjoyed meeting new people and had a great mind for learning new things. Her mind was busy with reading, crossword puzzles, Sudoku, picture puzzles, sewing, and knitting. She belonged to a Red Hat Club which was always fun. Flowers and birds always were a great joy to mom. Traveling, especially to Vermont and the Jersey Shore were tops on her list. The Cape May Lighthouse and Park was her favorite in later years. Now she is walking the beach there, we are sure, watching the waves and birds.
