A Springfield woman has been charged with stealing more than $337,000 from her 78-year-old mother.

Bernadette Branson-Lawler, 52, of Springfield, Delaware County, allegedly stole the funds from her mother over a period of 7 years.

Lawlor had access to the money because she was appointed her mother's power of attorney.

She was arraigned on a number of charges.
