Fondly referred to as the ultimate event planner, she could meticulously plan anything from a family vacation to a garage sale. Her summers in the 1000 Islands were filled with gardening, boating, mass at St. Vincent dePaul Church in Cape Vincent (Rosiere) and spending relaxing afternoons by the river with her friends and family.
