Our wonderful mother was suddenly taken from us on August 19 2005. Mom loved life and lived it to the fullest. Her life reflected her two great loves of family and faith. She was a long-time volunteer at St. Edward's Nursing Home and when in her 80's became a eucharistic minister. She was a charter member of St. Hilary's Church. Her many joys in life included fishing flowers bird watching and card games especially gin rummy. Her home was always a central gathering place where she made friends and family feel welcomed. Mom's spirit will live on through her six loving daughters their families and her six grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her best friend and husband of 52 years William 'Bill'; brothers Bernie Bill and Jerry Dies. She is survived by sisters Mary E. Dies Lucile Walter and Ruth Starr; brother Jim Dies; and her greatest accomplishment her daughters Patty A. Henry Rosemarie (Michael) Thomas Mary A.
