She was a co-founder of Concord Hill School. She served on the Board of The Retinitis Pigmentosa Foundation and volunteered and raised funds for the Frontier Nursing Service in Wendover, KY. She was also a member of the Junior League in Washington DC. She found solace and delight in her home in Tenant’s Harbor, Maine which, she wrote, was her open- house sanctuary and community center, where she along with her beloved dog Gracie was “Gonna sleep with the stars, and a slice of the moon hanging right above my bed. Gonna dream not of things that I’ve left behind but of those I found instead.” (Mary Chapin Carpenter) A Memorial Service will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton NJ on Saturday December 13, 2014 at 1:00 PM.
