She is survived by her loving children; her son Jeffrey and his wife Carol of Foxboro, MA; her daughter Lisa Pollack of Stoughton, MA; and also, her beloved dog Frankie.

She loved walking her dogs in the park and travelling to Cape Cod and the Caribbean Islands.  Her most creative achievements were the needlepoint and stain glassed designs she proudly displayed in her families homes.
