She especially loved and missed her mother "Granna" and was the best daughter a mom could have. Her dad christened her "Pudgy" at birth. The name stuck for 83 years. She was the matriarch of our family and each of us has a personal story and memory to remind us of just how remarkable our Aunt Pudge was. Friends will be received from 4-7 on Tuesday and 2-4 & 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday at the James W. Shirley Funeral Home, 176 Clay Pike, North Huntingdon, PA 15642.
