A parishioner of Incarnation Parish, Mantua, she was the assistant director of public relations and an adjunct professor of communications at Rowan University.

She was an editor for Girlfriendz Magazine, a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and editor at the Suburban Newspaper Group.
She is survived by her husband, Brian Ayscue, his son Stephen Ayscue (Claudine), her mother Rose M. Quigley (nee Monte), three grandchildren, Olivia, Collette and Georgeanne, her uncle Joe Quigley and many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her father, John Francis Quigley.
