The Italian in her was: she loved to feed you at any time day or night and was known for her midnight snacks Many of you have had the pleasure of enjoying her pies or her Italian Cookies. If she was not baking, she was outside enjoying her flowers and working in the yard she actually loved raking the yard…. She loved her Kansas City Chiefs!
