The family lived abroad 13 years in Rome, Copenhagen and Brussels, before returning to the Bay Area, where they lived in Tiburon and the Napa Valley. Loving mother of Susan L. Hall, Sarah S. Low and Peter R. Low (deceased). Devoted grandmother to Enzo P. Piersante and loved mother-in-law to Mark A. Piersante and Warren Brian Annin.
