Her greatest legacy will remain as the cornerstone for her family, and she will be deeply missed.

She is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, Henry; and her four children, Richard of Hobe Sound, Fla., Theresa of Raymond, Philip of Cape Coral, Fla. and Kevin of Raymond; 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; and her cherished sister, Barbara Talbot of Chocorua, N.H.
