She was a wonderful, loving and caring Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, and Great-Great-Grandma. Her family was the center of her life. She was active in her Church, the school, and held several part-time jobs but enjoyed working in the vineyard with our Dad the most. She was a great cook and homemaker. She bowled until she was 93 yrs. old and was proud to have been a regular blood donor. Her favorite past time was playing cribbage (of which she held a perfect hand). She is pre-deceased by her husband Steve in 2008 and brother Walter Rathburn. Left to cherish her memory are children; Jerry (Joyce) Grantner, Diane (Jim) Ahearne, Marsha (Harry) Neminski, Mark (Sally) Grantner, Steve (Barb) Grantner, Patti (Craig) Rodgers, Susy (Tim) Alder, and Kathy (Ed) Fust; 26 Grandchildren; a host of great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great-grandchild. She will be sadly missed by friends and family. Contributions can be made to St. Rita Catholic Church in her honor. www.dryerfuneralhomeholly.com
