During her lifetime she was active in Literacy Volunteers, English as a Second Language and was a substitute teacher in the Groton area. She was fluent in four languages and inspired many to expand their world through reading. She was a devoted wife and mother who supported all our interests and ambitions and was a caregiver for her father, mother and aunts for their elder years. She had a fierce respect for the U.S. Constitution and defended everyone’s inalienable rights. She had a love of nature and wildlife and encouraged us to be mindful of conservation of nature long before taking care of our planet became  identified as a necessary theme. She fed the birds and rescued many a feral cat! She was visionary, creative and a quietly accomplished artist.
