The matriarch of a family that now spans four generations, Mrs. Cohne embodied courage, strength, and most importantly, love.

She was the loving mother of Martin Cohne and his wife, Elise; Carol Cohne Meirovitz and her husband, Stephen; and the late Malcolm Cone and his late wife, Ellen (Heyman). Dear grandmother of David; Jordan and his wife, Dana; Zach; Michael; Jeremy and his partner, Nika; and Brandon. Great-grandmother, affectionately known as “GG,” to Lola and Hazel. Predeceased by her younger sisters, Marilyn Goodman and Charlotte Lipson, and her grandson, Alex Cone.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date at her beloved Nantasket Beach house.
