Yesterday morning as I was pulling into the parking garage at work, I received a phone call from my husband. His aunt Carol has just phoned him to let him know that his grandmother, Mary Alice Zito, had just passed away that morning. Mary Alice was in an assisted living home in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Born in Coffeeville, Kansas, she was 83 years old and lived an exciting life.
Joe has told me many times how he and his grandmother used to ride roller coasters together and she actually went on a white water rafting trip down the Colorado river. I had the opportunity to meet her after we were married and she still had that spark.
