BOCA RATON — Barbara Ruth Finesmith died on April 20 in Dedham, Massachusetts. She was 91.
A longtime resident of Boca Raton, formerly of Worcester, Massachusetts, and Great Neck, New York, Mrs. Finesmith was the beloved and devoted wife of Max Finesmith for 50 wonderful years before he preceded her in death.
Mrs. Finesmith was the loving mother of Mark and Sandra Mazur and proud grandmother of Ethan Mazur. She was the daughter of the late Eva (Krock) Berg and Louis Berg, sister of the late Burton F. Berg, and sister-in-law of Lois (Rozefsky) Berg and the late Sarah (Mazur) Goldstein.
Born and raised in Worcester, Barbara loved traveling the world. She and Max enjoyed boating on their long-distance trawler, “The Lady Barbara.” She enjoyed painting, art, fashion, cooking and music. Mrs. Finesmith was an excellent cook and particularly loved baking homemade cookies with her grandson Ethan and with many friends’ grandchildren.
Mrs. Finesmith was a gifted artist, had a great sense of style, always looked impeccably dressed and was a true free spirit. She loved to entertain family with funny stories, and had a mischievous sense of humor. But most of all, Mrs. Finesmith loved spending quality time with her beloved family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Center for Trauma and Embodiment at Justice Resource Institute, 160 Gould St., Suite 300, Needham, MA 02494.
