A life well lived

She remained a faithful Padres and Charger fan until the end.

She is survived by her sister Joanne, 6 children, 18 grandchildren, 14 great- grandchildren and all the friends that became family along the way. She was proceeded in death by her husband Jack, her son Tim and her grandson Timothy.
