She worked as a Spinner for the Bachman Uxbridge Worsted Woolen Co., and also for the Stanley Woolen Mills. After retirement, she enjoyed following the Boston Red Sox, and loved spirited conversation with her grandson Andrew, who fondly called her ma-ma. She also enjoyed FaceTime calls with her great-grandson, Parker. She enjoyed anything Irish, and had fond memories of her trip to Ireland. She was an avid reader and her favorite author was Maeve Binchy, an Irish novelist.

From the young age of 13, and under the guidance of Mrs. Como, her first solo was “Alice Blue Gown” in the Uxbridge High School Auditorium, where she first met her future husband, Alfred.
