Valeria, or, Volly, as she was known to most, had a full and active life. At 16 she quit school to work in a WWII defense plant. From 1951-1953 she worked for the Red Cross as a volunteer nurse’s aide. She also was a nurse’s aide at Pennhurst State Hospital and later at Riverside Osteopathic Hospital in Delaware.
