She worked for the Bernards Township Library for twenty years, retiring in 1992. She enjoyed spending her summers in New Hampshire and Rhode Island, reading, knitting, gardening and especially baking. She was well-known for her desserts! She was the loving mother of Richard (wife Linda) of Basking Ridge, James (wife Patricia) of Pt. Pleasant and Margaret Jewson (husband Bernard) of Basking Ridge. Patricia was the proud Grandmother to Kyle and Joshua Sevits, Patrick Hall, Bernard Jewson III, and Great-Grandmother to Isaac.
