Much to my distress, I was told of
Edythe's passing yesterday at a local
supermarket. I have had the pleasure of knowing Edythe over the
last several years while we both walked continuously around the Melrose High School track. She was
an inspiration to me not only because of her commitment to staying physically fit but because of her beautiful soul and spirit that she
showed to us through her ever present smile and eagerness to listen to how other people's lives were going. She never had a complaint - it was neither too cold nor too hot for Edythe; just always a "lovely"
day to be outside. She once invited me to lunch with her at her club where I met her daughter, Cynthia.
I felt as if I were the guest of the head of state with the number of friends and acquaintances who stopped by our table to chat with her. My one consolation to losing her
is that I understand she went quietly
and didn't suffer. I thank God for that. She passed the way she lived.
In a lovely, dignified way! I will never
forget her and I commend her family
for all the love and joy you gave her.
You made her the happiest woman around with all of your trips and get
togethers. Thank you for sharing her with me - I am deeply honored by
our friendship.

Edythe and Harry were wonderful friends to my parents, Ken and Rosalie Gopen, for over three decades. For Edythe and Mom, their relationship transcended friendship. Mom was a professional singer, and Edythe was her accompanist. They spent many hours together rehearsing and performing at fund raisers, religious activities, weddings, and many other events. Edythe’s skills as an accompanist were extraordinary. Not only was she a fluent sight-reader and transposer, but even with singers with whom she was unfamiliar or who were not as skilled as Mom, she always helped make them seem better than they were through her ability to follow their lead and help them recover from their mistakes. She never let her ego get in the way – in fact, she was quite the opposite. She was modest to a fault, and always boosted the confidence of those with whom she worked through her social grace, as well as her pianistic skills. To talk with Edythe – at least superficially – you would never suspect that she was so self-confident that she could master such demanding individual performance media as piano and golf, but that’s exactly what she did. I will always consider Edythe as one of my heroes for her ability to be so cool under pressure, yet so self-effacing.

I used to caddie for Edythe and her husband at Kernwood CC in Salem a long time ago. Since then I met her several times when I played Bellview with my friend Frank Romano. Edythe was a wonderful, positive and refreshing person. She made us all happier just seeing and talking to her. I have happy memories as a young child caddying for her. Edythe was a very exceptional person and I offer my condolances to her family and her friends.

Edythe was so friendly and welcoming when I joined TTI. We bonded over her maiden name and mine being the same and her love of music and dance. My daughter and I were so pleased to have her come to a winter dance recital of Sarah's. We will miss her and her generous spirit.

How truly blessed I consider myself to have known Edythe, someone I have considered one of the most incredible people I've ever known since I met her 13 years ago. I recall the many discussions we've had over the years about music, and about Stephanie, who I had the pleasure of working with at Shawmut Bank.
As her life was a blessing and inspiration, may her spirit continue to inspire and bless.
