Beloved wife of the late Thomas McGuire. Loving mother of Danielle Moreira and Denise (Justin) Vandruska. Proud grandmother of Sophia. Treasured sister of Marcia (Garrett) Steele, Larry (Cheryl) Liedel and Audrey (Dominic) Marsalese. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Sadly she is preceded in death by her parents, Louis and Frances Liedel and sister Marie (the late Roger) Touchette.
Monica had a knack for embracing the holidays and seasons with a festive flair. She loved decorating Christmas trees with her signature bows and extra glitz. Her haunted house worthy yard decor and Halloween costumes were always a favorite spot for trick or treaters. Monica's legendary towel cakes for a bridal shower or a diaper cake for an expectant mom showcased her creative talents.
She was always the first to arrive to every family event to help setup and always the first to help wash a dish. She was constantly looking out for others in need and supported the Purple Heart with her many donations. She loved hunting for a bargain at Big Lots, garage sales or clearance racks. She found it hard to pass up a good deal whether she needed it or not.
Her sweet tooth for doughnuts and Sanders bumpy cake were lovingly forced on those around her. She loved birthday parties and sharing frosting with babies including her granddaughter Sophia. Her favorite meals were white castle burgers and polish food.
She was known for her kind heart and homemade chicken noodle soup for the family reunion. She was the mom who would drop everything to help her daughters or step up to act as a second mom to those in need.
Monica will be dearly missed by her family and friends as we toast a glass of white zinfandel in her memory!
Per her wishes, a private cremation has taken place and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
Those wishing to make a donation in her memory may do so to a charity of donor's choice.
