CEENA WALLACK Obituary

WALLACK, Ceena Merle Brookline High School, Class of 1957. Dearest Daughter of Jean and David Wallack, passed away on Feburary 5th, 2014. Ceena is survived by her life companion and loving wife, Margaret (Peg) Cremin, her brother, Stephen Wallack, and his wife, Virginia. She will be sorely missed by her daughters and grandchildren, and all her friends and family who loved and cherished her. Ceena was a devoted mother, grandmother, aunt and great aunt. She was a long time activist for gay rights and marriage and was one of the first same sex couples to get married in the state of Massachusetts. She was proud to have worked as a hair stylist and barber on Newbury St. in Boston. She also loved the summers she spent at Nantasket beach with her brother, and at the beach in Gloucester with her wife, daughters, and beloved grandchildren. She treasured her time spent in Palm Springs, CA with her dearest friends and family. Given the gift of a beautiful voice and a wonderful sense of humor she brought great joy and laughter to all she knew. Services will be held at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, 1668 Beacon Street, BROOKLINE, on Sunday, February 16, 2014 at 12 Noon. Interment will follow at Sharon Memorial Park in Sharon.

Hi Honey,
Guess who is coming to visit this week? The Waven and Ling. I can't wait to see them,they are in P'town right now,but will be arriving next weekend,and staying for 3 days before going home to Palm Springs. Today is Marty & Shelly's 17th Anniversary. Imagine,17 yrs,. It seems as though we were attending their wedding just Yesterday! Calvin & Clara started back to school this wk.,4th &5th grade already. I miss you so very much my darling! Your brother has all 18 grandchildren visiting this month. He & Ginny plan on coming to Boston later this month and we plan on getting together,and, going for lobsters @ "Woodman's". Stevie says Ginny really wants to move back to Boston,again,I think they might be going to look at houses in Newton. I guess if we had eighteen grandchildren visiting I would want to leave Minn. too!

a flower for you my darling wife

i don't write or visit you here as often,because, i have got into the restful habit of talking to you each night. I love sharing with you what my day has been like,what I have been reading,doing,watching or talking about. I FEEL YOU ARE SO CLOSE....I only wish you could/would visit me. The family talks about you all the time....seems you may have been to see Neece? I've been told that by her. You made her feel sooo good,heard how you held hands and sat with your backs to back,just like you two would do on the living room rug. You told her that it's beautiful,calm,and your peaceful there and That you feel soooo good! THAT made me happy to hear,..HOPE you'll come visit me soon. I love you my darling wife. YOUR bro and i talk about once a week H e usually calls me on a Friday or i'll give him a buzz if i didn't hear from him. He and Ginny are planning a trip to Mass.,soon and we all plan on getting together and going out to "WOODMAN,S" over in Ipswich for Clams and Lobsters. Your niece Melissa was called and inducted into the Hollywood Academys directors club or Hall of Fame or something like that. Stevie says it's a pretty big deal-not everyone who wins an academy -"ONLY THE CREAM of THE CROP"-get asked or invited. GOOD on HER!!! Stevie is so proud. I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE YOU!....Talk tonight, googie

Darling,Loving you was easy,I do it every day,Missing you is a heartache,That will never go away. No farewell words were ever spoken,I was in the hospital and there wasn't any time to say goodbye! Sweetheart,you were gone before we knew it and only God can tell us why.We've had our first nice warm day,the temperature reached 78 degrees and memories of you out sunning yourself with those awful silver sun reflectors came flooding back! Wish you were here today,wish you were here everyday!
