Seena Abrams, of Brookline, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at home at the age of 89, surrounded by her family on March 21, 2024. Born in Providence, Rhode Island to the late Samuel and Anna (Karklin) Abrams, Seena led a life rich with passion and purpose.
As a psychiatric nurse with an MBA, Seena touched countless lives as a practitioner, manager, and teacher. Her sharp wit and keen intellect were matched only by her fierce independence. An aficionado of the arts, Seena had an eccentric and eclectic taste, collecting a variety of pieces that reflected her unique style and personality. She loved antiquing and adding interesting objects to her collection.
In addition to her passion for art, Seena was a talented and prolific knitter who could always be found working on her next creation. She loved pink, which she used in most of her projects. She also was a self-proclaimed cat lady who adored her feline companions.
She had a close and special relationship with her niece Lisa and her family.
Sister of the late Merna Green, Seena is survived by her nephew Chaim (Ricky) and Beverly Green of Mitzpah Navo, Israel; niece, Lisa Green and Rick Enfield of Weston, Massachusetts; nephew Robert J. Green of Warwick, Rhode Island; and niece Dawn and Ramon Shepard of Ocala, Florida. She is also survived by her great-nieces and nephews, Yossi, Amichai (Penina), Netanel (Rivki), and David Green; Jenny, Rachael, and Jonathan Enfield; Robert, Victoria, Raymond, and Adrianna Green; and Kyle Green Cowdell, Ramon, Julius, and Samuel Shepard.
