She grew up in Holliston, MA and attended Holliston High School. She spent her career in the construction industry beginning with Perini Corporation (Framingham, MA) and lately S&R Corporation (Lexington, MA). 

She was regularly active in and loved her church family at New Hope Community Church in Ayer. She had great faith in God through Jesus Christ, and her favorite verse was “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13). She adored all kinds of animals, especially horses and dogs.

She will be missed by all who know and love her. A celebration of her life will be held sometime in the future.
