Affectionately known as "Bebe" to her much adored grandchildren, those who knew and love her through the years have used the following phrases to describe who she was, simple, caring, selfless and servant-hearted. She was the glue that held her family together, gave meaning of life to her husband and children and helped mold them to the wonderful adults they have become. She loved them so much and they loved her!
