Left to mourn and cherish the memories of a life lived to the fullest are her loving husband and best friend, Stephen Altman; her children, Neal (and Janet), Doug (and Sarah), Alistair (and Allie) and Colin (and Ann); beloved Mimi to Alexa, Abigail, Olivia, Madeline, Sebastian, Jenson, Elizabeth, Winifred and Shepherd; her sisters, Barbara Mullin, Noreen Mullin, Betsey (and Ed) Powers; brother, Tom and many nieces and nephews.
