She was most sadly predeceased by her daughter, Lani Harmel in June 2004. Broken hearted, she was never the same again!

Also her god-daughter and niece, Rose (Maruca) Busilla, and a son-in-law, Gary Smith. Always impeccably and fashionably dressed, Mom was a perfectionist and this showed in her life-long career first as a seamstress and later as a fur finisher for well known fur companies. She was proud of her heritage and especially her family, and chose to live at the Villa Cabrini where there were many family connections, and where she could entertain and proudly introduce grandchildren and great-grandchildren at Villa dinners.

Crawford, Dr. P.
