She had a 25-year-long career at IBM where her co-workers fondly referred to her as "Omar". She was an avid sports lover, but she was a DIEHARD Boston Red Sox Fan! She followed and was a loyal fan of her favorite football team, the Washington Redskins. She enjoyed coaching, teaching, and attending her children's and grandchildren's sporting events. She was their number one fan. She was witty, intelligent, and a true giver of unconditional love. She lived her life giving to others, because that's what made HER happy. There will never be another like her. God blessed us all, and brought back home, the best Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, GG-NaNa, Sister, Aunt, and Friend!! She will be dearly missed.
In keeping with her wishes, there will not be a service or viewing. Instead, a celebration of her life will take place on Sunday, February 28th at 2pm at the Richmond Congregational Church, 20 Church Street, Richmond. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Serving New England, 85 Astor Avenue, Suite 2, Norwood, MA 02062.
