I never realized that Wally was older than my parents. I remember her sitting at the kitchen table on many of my visits. I don't recall her being anything but nice to me, though I recall one or more of her children receiving a verbal scolding.
Condolences to the family and friends.

Wally was my mother’s best friend and her first cousin. My mother was Vilda DuBois. Aunt Bella was my mother’s aunt. Bella and my mother’s mother, Esther DuBois, were sisters. I first recall Wally in the late 1940’s. She was the only person, other than my Grandparents DuBois, that my mother trusted to baby sit me and my brother, Eddie. Eddie was born in 1941, and I was born in 1943. I vaguely remember those early babysitting events. All I remember was this young woman who took care of us every so often and played games with us. I have sharper memories of Wally in the 1950s. On summer or autumn days, Mom, Eddie and I would walk from our apartment on Providence Street, adjacent to St. Mary’s Cemetery, along the old Woodstock Street all the way to see Aunt Bella and Wally on the “farm.” I also recall my mother recounting, when in the early 1940s, she would drive over to the farm, pick up Wally, and spend the rest of the day at my grandparents', our apartment, or out on some outing like Alexander Lake or Wildwood Lake. Evidently, Wally would end up at our apartment later in the evening, when my mother would cook a batch of spaghetti and sauce. Then they would go out on the front porch and eat it all up as late as eleven o’clock in the evening. Recently, Wally told me that my mother saved her from the “farm.” I believe Wally didn’t get a driver’s license until much later in life, and it was difficult in her younger years to go out. Growing up, Wally was always part of our lives. When my mother passed on in 2014, my wife, Sharon, and I would make it a point to visit Wally when we were passing through the Putnam area. Lately, my sister, Lucille, and I would visit her at the Matulaitis Nursing Home. We also kept in touch by correspondence. I last saw Wally only a couple of weeks before she died. She was approaching her ninety-eighth birthday. We are all saddened by her death and wish she could have lived many more years. However, that would be selfish of us. About her death, I think Wally would have said, “It’s about time!” I think she was ready. She was a good person. She was one of the last of her generation. I loved her, and I wish her the best journey

Dear Wally, I’ll miss writing writing each month to share the memories we made over all these . We were always teasing each other that I was catching up to you me being 94 and you being 98. You had nine kids, and I had seven never forget baking in your bedroom when we were younger and not Bella yelling at us rest in peace. Love you always.
I can

Dear Debbie, Ricky and families, My heart is broken over your loss. Your mom and I used to talk on the phone often when she was still living at home. I used to have to wait until after she watched Daily Mass on TV every day before calling. She didn't like to miss that. She was always so sweet and jovial - just a pleasure to be around. I visited her often when you were very small children and I didn't have my own kids yet. After working the night shift at the hospital she visited me while I was in labor for my first baby before she went home, then she dropped in to see me and the baby before going to her job that night, too. I've been missing her the past 2 yrs. and I'll miss her forever. She was a gem, and my dad was very lucky to have her as his first cousin. May she rest in peace.
