I wish I knew sooner that Babe had passed away. I lived across the street from her in Hillcrest. I still  put out her crafts , a black cat and pumpkin. Babe was so kind and sweet. We will miss her. Love you always.

I worked with Babe in 1976 at Eastland Professional Building.  She was such a kind person with a sweet smile. My condolences to the family.

Hebert Family, 

I am so sorry for the recent loss of Babe. She and I were good friends from our days in the St. Philomena choir.  We became even closer following the sudden death of my husband Clement and despite my move to Port Huron in 2020.  She was a thoughtful and very creative person. We certainly had some great phone conversations and even a couple of in person visits in recent years.  I will always remember her unexpected phone call on the first Christmas Eve following my husband's death because she knew how tough it was to face the holidays after losing your spouse. She will definitely be missed.  May memories bring you comfort. God be with you all!

Bebe was a very vibrant lady.  We are neighbors on Statler, in St. Clair Shores, and would always see her when we walked our dog.  She was the most friendliest person and always had a smile on her face. Bebe loved decorating her house for the holidays.  Bebe will be missed.
Our condolences to the her family,
Lou & Debbie Maiorano

I Love you, you were great to me! Thoughts and prayers to the family. 
                      Love, Billy Babbit Sr

We are sorry to hear of Babes passing. A dear friend and neighbor of our sub, Eagle Pointe. We will miss seeing her on her walks and stopping to say hello and chat awhile. She has left many fine memories with us. 
We send our deepest condolences and prayers to her family in these sad times. 
Sincerely,
Mike & Carolyn Florin

Offering my condolences to the family.  I worked at the rectory for many years and the work your mom did over the years to keep the altar beautiful and decorated was a real passion of hers.  She was always doing this as a volunteer and with her beautiful smile!  Fr. Pete appreciated everything she did for the parish.

Just came in town to celebrate the life of my Aunt Babe. When  I crossed  Zilwaukee Bridge all I could think of is all the times I would call my Aunt and she would say "are you on the bridge?" and I would say yep we would talk for the next hour or until her phone went dead. We did that for the last 3 yrs while my house was being built. That is just one great memory I have, there are so many. I'm going to miss her.

Oh Aunt Babe - you brightened a room when you walked in - always a joy to be around. Loved by everyone who met you I am sure. Your stories and laughter will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers to everyone who has been touched by this truly wonderful woman who made us all feel special in her own way. She always remined me of my mom for sure. So kind hearted. Love to all.

A passage about grief: At this time, if you are in pain, it is grief. Grief I’ve learned, is really just love. All the love you wanted to give, but now, you cannot. All the unspent love gathers up in the corner of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and the hollow part of your chest. Grief, is just love with no place to go-

They say you are supposed to have 5 good people in your life. She was one of my 5! She was in this order, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a sister-in-law, and a mother. Also, friend, a keeper, a grandmother, and a great grandmother to which she was so very proud of! She was a great women! She refined the efforts of keeping her space. I believed she mastered the science of domestic engineering. She was a role model to me in many ways for many many years, but especially in my early years as a young wife. I learned from her that that particular aspect of domestic life was indeed to be considered important. 
She moved through life gracefully-always with care, love, grace and force.
She would say there was nothing fancy about her. But I would say that in all her humbleness, most everything about her was fancy. One day (she was about 93), I brought over some apple crescent pastry. When I told her what they were, she instantly responded positively in a physical manner. Her response was that of a happy dance, a jig. Wait, that’s right, she definitely did a jig-I have a witness!
She had a long last year with many ups and downs. Glory’s, happiness, headaches, surprises and triumphs. 
She was a huge influence with my 2 boys. She took so much care in them, and taught them the art of gardening and much more.
She was a pretty good talker and was pretty good about saying something. And not very good about saying nothing. She could talk the ears off a cornstalk! She would ask the best questions. Even if you didn’t want her to, and even more if you didn’t want to answer her. She had a way of getting to the truth.
While alive, she gave her things away with warm hands, rather than with cold ones.
With 40 years + of friendship and more recently a special time for both of us, I didn’t feel so much like a motherless child anymore.
She was adventurous, kind, loving, truthful, sincere, helpful, hardworking, tireless, responsible, religious, resourceful, generous, creative, caring!

We will truly miss Babe’s cheerful pleasantness and our garden interactions. We will also miss the orange cosmos she perennially plants next to her drive. Babe gave us cosmos seeds to plant many years ago so she still lives right down the street. She also lives in the yards of other to whom we have forwarded her seeds. She was a planter who planted physical and spiritual seeds on God’s firm ground and the harvest is abundant.

I'll miss you and your potato salad. You were my favorite Aunt. Miss you so much already.  Say hello to my mom and dad and all your siblings.

Mrs. Hebert, as a friend of my mom, you are a part of my childhood memories from St. Philomena school days. Thank you for caring for all the schoolchildren who crossed your path. Also, thank you for caring for God’s house at St. Philomena. Condolences for the family 
Blessings: Marianne Palazzolo Powers
