After her divorce she remained friends and considered the Bercillio family her lifetime family. She had many grandkids that she loved talking about and had special ties to several.  Many nieces and nephews considered her the best Aunt and her cooking was something that will be talked about for years. She was admired for her straight to the point attitude. She had no problem saying what was on her mind.  She was outgoing and a friend to many.
