Cherished Aunt of Dr. Mariana Markell and her husband Dr. Jody Blanco, and Denis Markell and his wife Melissa Iwai. Great Aunt of numerous nieces and nephews including Peter Blanco. Beloved cousin of Michael Levine and his wife Juli, Suzanne Levine, Melissa Blacker and David Rynick, and Howard and Karen Levine, and the late Richard Levine and their families.

She was the Associate Entertainment Editor for the Jewish Advocate for over 20 years. For 12 years she wrote about film and stage personalities for the New England Entertainment Digest. Her first interview was with John Travolta and she concluded with Ryan Reynolds. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Children’s Hospital Boston. 

So it goes! Finis!
