Eleanor (Sagoff) Mamber

Eleanor (Sagoff) Mamber, 96, passed away on January 4th. She is survived by her son, John and his wife Cate, her grandson Matt Anctil, her sister Sylvia Rosenfeld and several nieces and nephews. A native of Newton, Massachusetts, where she spent much of her life, she graduated from Goucher College in 1948 and then worked in public relations at Boston University and Brandeis University. In her forties she and her sister founded MR Communications, a PR and advertising firm, and Discovery Tours, a convention services company. A talented poet, her works were published in numerous anthologies and her readings were well received in bookstores as well as the Newton Public Library.
Somewhat of a free spirit, she spent several months travelling in Portugal, England and Israel at a time when women did not often travel alone. Postcards from her arrived several weeks after they were sent, with family members unaware of where she might be. But most of all, Ellie loved her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Her time spent with them was her joy. She will be missed by all. Arrangements are private for the family.
