Joan Rinaldi 1932-2015

Joan Rinaldi.

Joan Rinaldi died on March 2, 2015, in Danvers, Mass. Joan served MGS admirably as a board member and secretary from April 2006 through December 2012. She was quietly efficient in all that she did and always ready to take on additional, difficult tasks until health considerations prompted her to resign. We have missed her wise counsel and sound advice. Joan is survived by a sister, Marilyn Fitzgerald of Salem, Mass., two nieces, Marilyn and Mary Lee Fitzgerald of Salem, and a nephew, John Fitzgerald of Gloucester, Mass. Obituary.
