Family and friends will say their last goodbyes to Mabeline Mullins Glasshagel in Wanatah, Ind., on Monday. The 78-year-old died last Tuesday at a Valparaiso hospital. She left behind two daughters, two sisters, six grandchildren, three great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. One of those nephews, Sean Manaea, will not be able to attend the funeral. A left-handed pitcher for the New York Mets, he is tasked here at Dodger Stadium with stopping one of the hottest teams in postseason history while Aunt Mabel, the sister of his mom, Opal, is laid to rest.
“It’s a small town,” Manaea says. “Everybody knows everybody. My whole family basically will be there. I will have a few friends at the game.”
