Thanks for your Newington citizenship

Myra devoted a large part of her life to making Newington a better place. She was a prominent and active member of the Newington Kiwanis family, and she spent many hours helping others. It was an honor and a privilege to have worked with her and to be able to call her a friend.

My deepest Sympathies, Al. Myra was one in a million.

To The Cohen Family,

You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

Al, Marlene, Francine and Steven,
How do you begin to speak of Myra and her accomplishments? Her dedication to the town of Newington and to B'Nai Tikvoh-Shalom was immeasurable. She was a giant among giants, despite her 4' 10" frame. She always spoke from her heart, and for that she was respected and admired by all, including those of us on the Newington Democratic Town Committee were privileged to know her and work with her. May she rest in peace.
Sholom, Myra.

Michael Fox

A woman who gave and gave and gave of herself to the town she loved. Irreplaceable! God Bless you Myra... and heartfelt condolances to Al and the rest of your family.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Al and his family during this difficult time. We will always remember Myra for her friendly smile and good will towards everyone, may she rest in peace.

I was so sorry to read of Myra's passing. It will be a great loss to all of the citizens in The Town of Newington, and also the members of the Newington Fire Department
During my tenure as Fire Chief I could always depend on Myra's cooperation for help in time of need.


Myra will be in our thoughts forever.
