She worked at Ann & Hope as a vacuum demonstrator and as an assistant in Everett’s metal fabrication company office. She enjoyed games of mahjong, sitting by chair 5 at Narragansett Town Beach and dinners with the ladies.

She was the beloved Nana to Jonathan and his wife, Amelia, and their son, Cole Everett; Jared and his partner, Aimee Bowater; and Rory and Ryan Sugerman.
