Occupation: Out of High School she was certified in Nuclear Technology and then worked on her double doctorate in Domestic Engineering and Early Childhood Developement utilizing her nine children as her test subjects-the validity of her results are still being debated today. She then devoted her time to her lifelong dream of becoming a professional chef with educational internships at top culinary institutes in Europe and numerous establishments throughout New England. She is renowned for her Tortas, Gravy(it's not Sauce) and salsa. Ownership of her torta pan will keep the family in probate court for years to come. The last few years of her life were spent privately, shredding and burning documents. From scraps we have pieced together, the documents had something to do with a group called Lovely Rita and national intelligence during the cold war...
