Hello,
Her obituary was published by the New Haven Register on October 5, 2002.
I found it online through an online genealogy site which publishes old newspapers.

Because of copyright law, I can share facts, I cannot copy the obit here in this message. But I will distill the facts and you can write the New Haven Register, online, or call them. Their site is at: http://www.nhregister.com
