Aidamae will be missed by all of us. She was always into conversation with a very positive and happy approach. She was a people person with a very sharp memory, whether the conversation was from the 1940's or present. Aidamae would always share her memories with all the people that she connected with. She enjoyed attending musical events. Aidamae was named after my grandmother Mae and her sister Aida. Aidamae has been like a third grandmother to the Garrigus families. She was one not to miss a party, birthday, holiday or event. Aidamae would bring her famous baked macaroni and cheese. She was usually a little late so we had a solution for her tardiness ,if the party was at 6 o'clock we would tell Aidamae 5 o'clock, and she would arrive right on time.
Aidamae would cherish every bite of food. She would tell everyone how great everything tasted, saying this is "out of this world." She was always the last person finished eating and you wouldn't dare touch her plate until her plate was empty.
I don't recall ever seeing Aidamae angry or mad, maybe frustrated. But she would tell you if something had upset her.
Aidamae was like a sister to my mom Lucille. Only six years apart growing up, in the east end of Waterbury to the present, they would talk for hours about Soap Operas , Uconn Basketball, current events, church, D.A.R. and everything else that was part of their schedules. Aidamae you will be truly missed.
Love,
Your Cousin and Godson,
Paul Garrigus & Family
