She was a member of the Foxboro Garden Club, and also volunteered with local scouting programs for both girls and boys. A skilled and accomplished seamstress, she was also an avid gardener, and enjoyed bowling in a women’s league for many years.
A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she is survived by her children: Janet L. (Bryant) Vosseller and her husband Kenneth F. of Enfield, Connecticut; and Kenneth A. Bryant and his wife Diane J. of Foxboro; and also by five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was the sister of the late Ralph H. Floyd, Lucius H. Floyd, Jr., Dorothy L.
