| Unspecified | Family story: In the attic there was a tablecloth with a fringe. She occasionally would light a thread, watch it burn and go out. One evening she could not get the fire out and, not knowing what else to do, went downstairs to join the family at dinner. When a neighbor alerted her father to the fire, they called the fire department, and the fire was extinguished with only minor damage. The fire was blamed on embers from the train, whose tracks were only a few yards away at the corner of 22nd Street. She finally confessed to this 40 years later, in 1967, a year before her mother's death.

| Burial | Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. |

Dolores BALL (Carr) wrote of her mother in 1992, "She was always "one of the kids" when I had my friends over. How many other parents enjoyed Elvis Presley? To my children, a trip to Towaco was a must every Sunday." |
