She later became a full-time substitute teacher at North Brunswick High School, followed by a successful career as a realtor with Coldwell Banker. After moving to West Windsor in 2000, she served as Chairman of the Village Grande Social and Trip Committees.
Friends and family uniformly remember her big smile and sunny disposition She was one of those people that made others feel better for having spent time with her. She loved spending summers down the shore in Beach Haven with her family.
She considered herself wonderfully fortunate for having married a fellow from “the wrong side of the tracks” who “made good” and gave her a wonderful life. Asked years later why she dated a fellow who was “trouble” she replied, “I guess I was looking for trouble!”

She is survived by her daughter, Tamara Eisenberger of Somerset, NJ; her son Steven and his partner Cynthia Bratman of Princeton Junction, NJ; her former daughter-in-law Evelyn Goldin of Ewing, NJ; her grandson Michael and his wife Jo-Ann, grandchildren Will, Beau, Devon.
