RAMONA BRISS Obituary

BRISS, Ramona Age 92, died peacefully on September 19, 2019. Mona, as she was known, was the loving of wife of the late Herbert Briss, devoted mother to her son Jeff and his partner Dorothy of San Francisco and daughter Judy and her husband Tom of Bellingham. Herb and Mona established their home in Framingham where they lived for over 50 years before moving to Westborough in 2012. Mona was a great cook and loved having family and friends over for the Jewish Holidays. Her latkes, matzo balls and chicken soup were the best!. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family would request a donation in her memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Association's Neponset Valley Walk to End Alzheimer's, which is near and dear to her family's heart at: http://act.alz.org/goto/HerbiesHeroes

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Judy and Jeff,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your parents were lifelong friends of my parents, Marie and George Rosenberg. They had always reminisced about the wonderful times they had at your parent's pool along with Libby and Mort Krasoff. I had kept in touch with Libby and she had sent me pictures that you, Judy, had sent to her. Your parents came to my mother's 80th birthday party held at my house here in Delaware in 2006. That was the last time I saw them. Your parents were wonderful friends of my parents. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Although I had did not have the priviedge of knowing Mona and Herb until their later years...I immediately felt as if I knew them a lifetime. As a new neighbor who moved in across the street from them in Framingham, they took me into their home...and backyard pool!...as if I were family. I have many recipes of Mona's that I treasure and Herb's smile and kindness will live in my heart forever. Always holding hands, always together. Rest In Peace my friends.
