She was a loving mother and homemaker for her family as well as a skilled artisan at sewing, knitting, crocheting, and quilting. She had a love for the Lord and for country music, with a special fondness for Willie Nelson.
She is survived by her six children, Leo Prokopovich and wife Lynn of Atkinson, New Hampshire, Nadia Watson and husband, David, of Pottersville, Missouri, Viktoria Griffin and husband, Brian, of Boxborough, Massachusetts, one son and two daughters from previous marriage, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Her husband, one brother and two sons preceded her in death.
Family and friends will remember and celebrate her privately.

Cary was my friend for 60 years, No matter where we lived in our later years of life, we always stayed in touch with each other. We watched each others children grow up, marry and have families of their own. We talked about our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I will miss our phone conversations and the way we would laugh about our aches and pains as we grew older.
My condolences to her family in their time of grief. Your Mother was a very special friend to me.
Love, Emma
