In her retirement years she added to her long list of friends at the Tuscarora Golf Club and her weekly Mah Jong games. Lunches and dinners with the Betty’s were cherished moments. One of her most important lessons in life was that anything was better with Chardonnay. But her most cherished roles in life were wife, mother and grammie to Nick, Cam, Jax and Riley.

She was predeceased by her parents and beloved aunt Bessie Shields of Cambridge, NY.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Daniel, daughters, Megan (Matthew) Malette of Albany and Martha (Michael) Gillette of Rochester, her four adorable grandchildren, brothers, Charles (Hope) Wayman of Newport, NC and Eugene (Amanda) Wayman of Smithfield, VA, and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
