Loving her forever are her daughters: Tammy (Todd) Lucas of Howes Cave and Wendy (Kevin) Frees of Leland, NC; granddaughters: Heather Frees of Ft. Worth, TX and Tammy Mongelluzzo of Flushing, NY; daughter-in-law: Sun Mongelluzzo of Flushing, NY; brother: Lawrence Mundhenk of Hillsdale, NJ; many nieces, nephews and friends.
