Her broadcast career started in Boulder, CO, where she helped build the public radio station KGNU and did a stint as on-air talent. In recent years she began acting in community theater and had appeared in productions at the Marion Art Center, Your Theater, The Little Theater in Fall River, and New Bedford’s 1440 Project Theater Collective.
She is survived by her husband Geoff and his two children and four grandchildren, her brother Gerald, and sister Michele. A Celebration of Life will be held to honor her to be announced. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to her favorite charities, Buzzards Bay Coalition, Planned Parenthood, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
