She left Ireland in 1947 with her sister Ann for a better life in America.
In 1949, she married her late husband Jack Fitzgerald and together had five children. They resided in Flushing, NY and spent summers in Southampton.
In 1992, she moved to Southampton full time. She loved spending time at the shores with family and friends. She enjoyed her soap operas, making Irish soda bread, a good cup of tea. Most of all spending time with her grandchildren.
She is survived by four children, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She will surely be missed!
