Edith K. Brodsky

Stoughton, died on Wednesday, October 22, 2014.

Born on December 20, 1923 in Fall River, MA, she was the daughter of

the late William and Reva (Epstein) Kantrowitz. In 1941, she graduated

from Durfee High School in Fall River.

After high school, Edith became a secretary at the Newport Naval Base.

She later took on the role of the family matriarch, staying at home to

raise her two boys. Being a fashion conscious woman, Edith took a job

managing the cosmetic counter at the Dartmouth Mall. Her career was

cut short in 1980 after her son, Mark was involved in a tragic

automobile accident which left him hospitalized for the rest of his

life. For 20 years, Edith would visit her son every day at New

England Sinai Hospital in Stoughton.

Edith enjoyed shopping, watching television and was known for her

great sense of humor. More than anything, she cherished the time that

she shared with her family and friends.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her son, Mark Brodsky.

She is survived by her son, Drew Brodsky and his wife, June of

Osterville; her granddaughter, Abigail Brodsky of Brighton; as well as
