The Irish Matriarch would spend most of her life caring for others, and a special joy for her was the arrival of her third grandaughter, Mary Viola, in 1902. She played a part in naming her, as a girl born in Galway, Ireland had a little trouble pronouncing "Delores", a middle name that Mary's mom preferred. So Mary Viola, or "Vi", it would be. Grandmom and Grandaughter formed a special bond which would be strengthened when they became next door neighbors. Family members shared both sides of a duplex, and three generations enjoyed each other's company on a daily basis. The family shared their spiritual lives as well.
