Ann Shaper Pollack

Ann S. Pollack, 89, loving wife, mother, and grandmother, passed peacefully on January 12, 2022 in Dedham, MA. Born in Louisville, KY to Aaron A. Shaper and Rose Friedman, she grew up in Cincinnati, OH, and later raised a family in Great Neck, NY before moving to Newton and then Dedham, MA.

She earned a B.A. in Art History from Long Island University, and she attended the School of the Arts at the University of Cincinnati, and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

She was an accomplished artist in multiple media, including jewelry making, silversmithing, sculpture, and medallic art, and her work is in the permanent collections of several museums.  She was a member and officer of many international sculpture associations, and she and her husband supported aspiring students in the sculptural arts.

Ann is survived by her sons Jon and Richard, their wives (Fiona Epstein and Robin Mozell, respectively), and her granddaughter, Sarah Pollack. She was predeceased by her husband, Jason Pollack, and her brother James Shaper.

A private memorial service will be held for the family. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to Brookgreen Gardens (S.C.).
