She is survived by her four children, Carolyn F. Scanlan (Paul E. Scanlan), Jane I. Friedensohn (Richard Horsch), Peter N. Friedensohn (Patricia Hopkins) and David S. Friedensohn; seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and nine nieces and nephews.

She and her husband loved to travel, and traversed the world during their lifetime together. At a future date, she will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery with her husband.
