She had worked at Diamond International in Baltimore before moving to the county and working at Omni Maintenance.

She loved nothing more than to spend time with her family along with going out to eat at local restaurants. She was the most generous person who loved to help however she could.

For the past eight years she has fought lung cancer. She had gone through treatments back in 2017 and had lived many good years until the reoccurrence. She fought long and hard!

The Tate Center in Glen Burnie treated her and she made many friends with the Doctor and Nurses there.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Tate Center of Glen Burnie to help carry on the excellent care that was provided to our Mom.

A visitation will be held on at the McCully Polyniak & Collins Funeral Home, P.A Tuesday October 14, 2025, from 1-4 PM. Prayer service will be at 4:00 PM. Interment private.
