She leaves three daughters, June Porter, Henrietta Karch and Marion D. Goodell, all of Pittsfield; nine grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren.

The funeral will be Wednesday at 4 at WELLINGTON FUNERAL HOME in Pittsfield, with the Rev. Willard Durant officiating. Cremation will follow. Calling hours at the funeral home will be Wednesday from 2 until the time of the service. If friends desire, donations are suggested to Alzheimer's research.
