She is survived by daughter Barbara Farley (Dennis) of Pittsfield, MA, son Paul Hafner Jr. (Sally) of Baldwinsville, NY, son Robert Hafner (Linda Soldatos) of Millbrae, CA, and daughter Carol Jane Hafner (Steve Andrews) of Hounsfield, NY.
Services are tentatively planned for September in Syracuse, NY.
