She later ran for office, serving for eight years as a Town Board member in New Castle before becoming its Supervisor from 2000 to 2004.
She later worked with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s office on election law issues, and remained active in Democratic politics and other organizations. She served on the Compensation Advisory Panel to the Westchester County Board of Legislators, and served on the boards of The Chappaqua Orchestra and the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center.
She lived in Chappaqua for almost 38 years.
