Loving mother of three daughters, Robin Smirlock (Martin), Ivy Kalik (David),  and Mindel Klein (John Lepore).  Adoring and adored Nana to seven grandchildren, Jonathon, Jordan, and Anna Kalik, Sophia and Alexandra Lepore, Stephanie Morrissey, and Jennifer Ryan, and five great-grandchildren, Maddie, Cam, Jake, Owen, and Spencer
