Loving mother of John (Greg) and his wife Adele Linson, Steven and his late wife Mercedes Large’, David, and Joel and his wife Ailyn Costa. Proud grandmother of John and Erik.
She is also survived by her loving partner Jack Roth and of course survived by the love of her life, her cat Maggie.
She was constantly an active driving force in the Norwood Community and loved her work in the school system at Norwood Public School always striving to help students get a better education for over 50 yrs. An avid outdoorswoman, environmentalist and conservationist who loved our national parks with the Adirondacks being closest to her heart. Always fighting for the underdog or little guy. When not outdoors she was enveloped in the arts, theatre, and opera.
