Beer here!

Martha Polachek Lynch (the only photo I've ever seen or have of her).

Martha Polachek Lynch was my Grandfather's older sister.  She married but had many still born babies. From what I've been told, she was extremely close with her older sister, Katie. She died in 1977. 

I wanted to share the story my mother always recalls about her: 

Aunt Martha would ask the kids to go get the beers out of the basement fridge. (Typically, at a family gathering while the adults were discussing and carrying on in the sitting room.) Uncle Frank (my mother's brother) & my mom would shake the hell out of Aunt Martha's beers and each time - they blew up in her face when she went to open them. Aunt Martha never complained and would laugh at the top of her (probably drunk or tipsy) lungs.
