age and began living at the McNally Farm on the Masardis Rd. in Ashland, where she raised six children as well as being a caregiver for several aging relatives. She was very dedicated to the care, well being and happiness of all her family members right up until her homegoing.

Her concern for others was always very evident through the years.
