She taught swimming in the Pittsfield school system and at the Boys' and Girls' Club for years, and was also involved with the Boys and Girl Scouts.

She leaves her husband of 54 years, Joseph J. McKeon, whom she married Sept. 22, 1947; a son, Charles H.

Her brother, Joseph Furciniti, died Jan. 24, 2001.

There will be no calling hours. A Liturgy of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday morning at 11 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, with the Rev. James K. Joyce, pastor, officiating.
