Special thanks to Milja Vajagic and PSW Patricia from Bayshore for all their dedicated years of care. Mom was one of the female pioneers in the local real estate industry, having and did enjoy a successful sales career with PS Jeffrey and Co. from 1963 to 1986. But her life’s work was really about her family. Having been an only child, she was always so proud to have raised five kids of her own. Being strong-willed, determined and a fighter to the end will be her legacy.
