Affectionately known as “Kathy”, she was born in Manati, Puerto Rico. In 1957, Kathy moved to New York City.

In 1961, they moved to Hightstown where they made a beautiful home for their family. In 1973, along with her husband, they opened Teddy’s Restaurant in Cranbury. Her daily interaction with her customers both young and old was one of the greatest joys of her life.
