None of us will ever forget Aunt Tootie. Many of her antics have become stories past down from one generation to the next. She had a way of vexing the best of us …always finding the humor in it. She was beautiful, independent, strong, clever and so incredibly smart… a real fighter… and, yes, at times even diabolical. Yet, she did truly love her nephews and neices wholeheartedly and was very proud of us in our own accomplishments throughout the years. Throughout her life of 92 years, she never failed to call and find out how we were doing; of course, she always had to share her opinion about it… good or bad. She was a real character. We loved to take the bus downtown to visit her on the weekends. She would always greet each and every one of us with a big SMOOCH … leaving us with a thick red outline of her lips on our cheeks! Even though she always made good money working hard for a living, she was extremely thrifty. I remember walking all over downtown Pittsburgh with her shopping for groceries only to walk six blocks back for a head of lettuce that was a penny cheaper. Yet, she did show her love through gifting us. I remember one time we went to Gimbel’s; and, she bought me a cream colored knit cap that I truly loved and still have today. Aunt Tootie was also a bit nosy, as she always kept her door open to keep track of the comings and goings of her neighbors, who did not always appreciate her spying on them. She was a big presence in our lives. Aunt Tootie with all the good and the bad will forever live in our hearts. ?
