Mom was born on January 2, 1924 in Boston, PA. It was there she met Dad who turned into the love of her life when he moved into the house next door. They were married after World War II on June 12, 1948. They were married for 59 wonderful years until Dad passed away in August 2007. They made their way to Centerville in October 1964. It was here where they decided to put down roots and raise a family. So who was this extraordinary woman? She was a compassionate, caring, loving, warm, kind, gentle, intelligent, understanding, patient, nurturing, supportive and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, mother-in-law, and friend. She had a great sense of humor. She wore many hats. She ran Dad’s law office for over 25 years while at the same time raising three children, taking care of the house and all of the duties associated with it. She never missed a school event or sporting event in which any of us participated rain or shine. She was an avid sports fan. She followed the Cincinnati Reds, Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Bengals and PGA golf. She always bragged she could run faster than any of the boys in her class. We believed her. She was an avid bowler. She bowled in a Centerville Women’s League at the old Centerville Bowling Alley on Route 48 for many years. She was very active in the Centerville Methodist Church. We can still smell the peanut brittle the women would make in the basement of the church. Her cooking and baking skills were second to none. She made the entire Thanksgiving meal single handedly. When things got serious, she kindly asked us to leave the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves. For years we tried to get her to reveal her cooking and baking secrets but she would only let a few out at a time. She loved the ocean and beach and in particular, Garden City, South Carolina. We spent all of our family summer vacations there. We still remember being packed into the family station wagon while listening to the comforting voices of Mom and Dad as we drove to the beach. She would rock us (and then grandchildren and great grandchildren) to sleep on the front porch while quietly singing. A special and comforting memory to all of us. She loved music and singing. Big Bands. She would always sing the harmony lines of the hymns at church. Most of all, she always put her family first. She never complained. No matter what physical ailment she had, she always asked you how you were doing. It was never about her. She was also tough as nails. You do not make it to 97 otherwise. She proved many doctors wrong. She was a fighter to the very end. She was truly one of a kind. For all of this, we want to say thank you Mom for being the person you were. Thank you for teaching us how to live our lives and how to treat other people. Thank you for your unquestioned love, devotion, support and counseling. Thank you for making us better people. We were blessed to have you as our Mom. You will be with us forever. We know you are now at peace and where you want to be. Say hi to Dad and the rest of the family. We love you. Sharma, Jeff, Scot and the entire family.
