After completing her secondary education in Lexington, and obtaining a bookkeeping degree, she worked at John Hancock Insurance Company in Boston. In her free time, she became quite good at roller-skating but an interest in skiing led to her marriage to Norman Gundersen. Her passion was raising their children yet she still managed to win a number of blue ribbon awards for her tasty apple pies which were always enjoyed by her husband Norman of sixty years. She is survived by her husband and children: Cynthia, Joseph, Lynne, John, Mark, Eric, Shawn and Heather. She is also survived by eighteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
