Alvina “Babe” Mauro McDonald passed today at age 88. She was with her children at the end Patty, Tom, Michael & granddaughter Joanna. She spent the last month traveling to see her grandchildren Tommy, Katie, Ashley & Frank and of course her heart TJ. Babe spent her life dedicated to her family including her siblings and nieces and nephews and their children. She spent 50 years married to Joe “ Butch”. He left her exactly 19 years ago to the day. Our family and extended family will miss her greatly, but we all know she is at peace out of pain and with her husband and parents.
