She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She leaves behind a husband Dana, and 3 children…Rebecca Spear (and husband Brian) of Leverett, MA, DJ (and wife Katy) Clark of Odessa, and Frankie Clark (and Jenny) of Clearwater, FL. And, 3 grandchildren…. Gavin Spear of Leverett and Maggie and Evan Clark of Odessa. She is also survived by 3 sisters from Massachesetts…Sarah Grinnell, Marilyn Rossi, and Chris Bator, 4 nieces and nephews also of Massachusetts.

Her children and grandchildren were most important to her. She was a great friend to her husband, and was loved by her husband, all her family, and many friends. She will be missed but always remembered.
