She is deeply loved by her grandchildren: Alyssa Catarzi and her wife, Caroline Catarzi; Arielle Shipman and her husband, Austin Shipman; Lauren DeBrosse and her husband, Austin DeBrosse; Ryan Morris; Shane Johnson; Lydia Tilka; Vidar DeSabatino; Jera DeSabatino; William Conrad; Michael Conrad; and Vaughn Conrad.

Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren, Landyn Windham, Luella DeBrosse, Faylynn Lane, Izabella Shipman, and Colton Hezlep; her great-granddaughter, Juliet DeBrosse, who is expected in December; and her great-great-grandchild, Aurora Turner.
