Our beloved mother, Mabel, has passed into eternal life. She was a kind and caring person born in San Antonio, Texas to Ben and Lupe Specia 96 years ago. Her father, Ben, founded Specia Plumbing and Hardware Store in 1908.

Mabel graduated from Incarnate Word High and M & S School of Nursing. Her career was at BAMC. As a former parishioner of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, she served by praying at Perpetual Adoration every Monday at 1:00pm over 25 years.

Mabel was preceded in death by her husband, Clyde N. Wolfe in 1980. He was band leader for Lackland Air Force Band of the West for many years. She was predeceased by her daughter-in-law, Cynthia Schoenberg Quinn, and grandson Frederick Quinn.

Mother is survived by her daughter, Margaret Ann Dylla and husband Ed Dylla and by her son, Fred D. Quinn and wife Edith Quinn. Grandma's favorite people were her grandchildren: Laurie Rickaway, Dawn Jones, Anthony, Barrett, Andrew, and David Dylla. She especially loved her great-grandchildren: Christina, Justin, Jacob, Sarah, Cather, Abigail, and great-great-grandchild, Gabriel; her nephews in Indiana and Ohio are Ron and Rick Gassmann and Leroy and James Hendrickson.
