Upon getting married and starting a family, she spent the next many years moving around the country and the world as the wife of a career Naval Officer. She loved this role and the many opportunities it provided to host large parties. In addition, her half Irish, half Italian heritage not only made her an outstanding cook, but also ensured that she was always the life of the fun, boisterous parties she threw. She had a love of all animals, particularly cats, and passed this love on to her children. She was a devout Catholic, pro-life advocate, and very devoted to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pregnancy Crisis Center of Daytona Beach.
