She was a talented chef who loved to entertain, and she ran a successful catering company for many years in Wellesley, MA. She was a lovely singer who performed with her local Catholic church choirs. Summers were spent on Sagamore Beach, which is where she met her husband, Dick, at the age of 13! She made many lifetime friends through the Sagamore Beach Colony Club and White Cliffs Country Club and enjoyed many years filled with travel, sailing, skiing and tennis.
She is survived by her sons Donald and Richard, and her daughters Jeannine and Suzanne; ten grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren; her brothers David Garrity of Arlington, George Garrity of Burr Ridge, Illinois and Stephen Garrity of Belmont, MA; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
