Fil, a lifelong New Yorker, died peacefully on November 6th at her home in Peter Cooper Village (where she had lived for 60+ years) at the age of 95. After a long and fulfilling career spent teaching art at JHS 60 on the Lower East Side, Fil enjoyed many years of retirement during which she entertained family and friends at her country house in Pennsylvania and traveled extensively both domestically and abroad. Beloved by all who knew her on both sides of the Atlantic, Fil made and kept friendships wherever she went. Fil loved the art, the architecture, the food and simply the ambiance of Italy. Above all, she enjoyed being with family and friends and sharing meals, especially during the holidays. She will be sorely missed!
