 Mickey was a loving sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. The highlight of her life was to spend time with her family, especially cooking and eating together on Sundays and spoiling her grandchildren, as well as her great grands. She also loved to travel, watch the Young and the Restless and the Bold and the Beautiful on tv, and sneaking food to Paula’s dog without anyone knowing. Her beautiful memory of love, joy and laughter will forever be cherished in the hearts of all that knew and loved her.
