Bunny retired first from Banker’s Trust in New York in 1982. A short time after, Bunny and Freddy moved to Virginia Beach to start the second part of their lives together. From that time on, she worked at Social Services of Virginia Beach and retired again in 2017. Bunny was a great inspiration to all who knew her. There was always a smile on her face and a joke on her lips. She was a kind an gentle soul who loved spending time with her family. Her honorable and indomitable spirit always encouraged her family to persist in the face of many struggles. She enjoyed life and embraced activities such as reading and writing. Knowing Bunny, you quickly learned that she was an extremely witty woman with an immense vocabulary, she was very educated, logical, and independent. Her loving an generous spirit will live on eternally through those who knew and loved her over the years.
