Sounds like she was truly a classy lady. Quite active with the kids and community. And a person who just wanted to 'fit' in, shown by keeping her famous family history a secret to all. My prayers to the Rooney family. God bless.

Deepest condolences to the Rooney family and the entire Steeler Nation.

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
When the shadows fall-
You do not walk alone.
