On Jan. 7, 1944, in Buffalo, N.Y., she married Andrew W. Miklos, who

she converted to Catholicism and became a devoted member of the St.
Raphael’s Church, where she was a longtime member of the Altar Rosary
Society.
In the 1950’s, she had been employed by the Viko Furniture Co. in
Eldred, but retired as an employee of the Corning Glass Works in
Bradford after 27 years as a quality control inspector and a proud
member of the American Flint Glass Workers Union.
