Mamahilda, as her family called her, helped raise four generations of children and dedicated her life to loving and serving those around her. She ? not just her house ? was a home for those she loved. Her house was a place to go when times were good or bad, and a place where she greeted everyone with love, compassion, warmth, kindness, humor, encouragement and a lot of food. She loved hosting holidays and Sunday dinners; she always welcomed anyone who came and made sure there was plenty to eat.
