She loved to travel with her husband and friends, especially the Capassos, with whom she spent time with every year in Aruba. She also loved to travel to Ireland, where she spent a special summer with her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and many cousins and friends. Momsy loved the new, up-and-coming White Plains, and loved dining out every Saturday night with her husband and various friends. She also enjoyed her "quiet time," taking walks in her neighborhood with her dog, Prince, and grandson, Jackie, and babysitting Daniel, Michael and Eva. She also loved to shop, garden, knit, and had special talents for baking and decorating. Momsy was selfless, always putting others first. Like a true mother and friend, she was always at the ready with a kind word of encouragement, a smile, and the promise of a better tomorrow. She was so proud of her family, their achievements, and goals. She was their cheerleader. Friends were also very important""they were the extension of her family. She will be missed so much, by so many people. We love you Momsy. "When Irish eyes are smiling." Interment to follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Valhalla, NY.
