her husband and kids and thoroughly enjoyed sailing with them in the
waters off southern MA, and skiing the slopes at Mittersill, NH. When she
settled more into retirement, she enjoyed knitting with her Knit Wit pals, and
especially delighted in being with her fun-loving family. She will be greatly
missed for her wonderful smile, sharp wit, grace, dignity and warm
relationships with so many friends.
