Thérèse Marie (Foley) O’Keefe Christie, of Needham, formerly of Dennis and Braintree, died March 15 at the age of 94.  Thérèse is the widow of the late Edward O’Keefe Sr. (dec. 2002) and the late James Christie (dec. 2015).  She is survived by her children, Maureen O’Keefe of South Boston, Edward O’Keefe Jr and his wife Michelle of Taunton, Rosemary Chretien and her husband Richard of Weymouth, David O’Keefe and his wife Stephanie of Milton, and Martha O’Keefe McKenna and her husband Ronald of Milton.  She is also survived by her sister, Dr. Mary Dowd of Needham and many loving grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Terry grew up in New Haven and moved to the Boston area to attend Regis College.  While there, she met the love of her life, Ed O’Keefe.  They married when he returned from WWII and began a loving marriage of fifty-five years.  After a number of moves and the birth of 5 children, they settled in Braintree where Terry taught students who were unable to leave the house to attend the public school.  After retirement, they moved to the Cape and spent many wonderful years together playing golf, spending time with friends, and traveling to Florida for two months each winter.  They ended each day with a scotch while they sat and talked together after clinking glasses and toasting “Cheers! First today!” which has become a family tradition.

After Ed’s death, Terry grew close to their old friend, Jim Christie, who had lost his wife, and Terry’s close friend, Kitty, shortly after Ed died.  They married and spent eight happy years together.

Terry loved to sew and knit and rarely sat idle.  She was either at her sewing machine making clothes for herself or her family or knitting lovely garments.  She made the dresses for the bridesmaids in each of daughters’ weddings and topped it off with the creation of her youngest daughter’s bridal gown.  Every member of her family – children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and spouses – have identical hand knit Christmas stockings which mark them as members of Terry’s tribe.

The final two years of Terry’s life were spent in a memory care home at Vista Terrace in Needham.  Terry received loving care there from the Vista Terrace staff and from her private aides through Right At Home.  Terry’s family is especially grateful for their kind and compassionate care for Terry in her final days.

Terry had a deep faith and her special saint was St. Therese the Little Flower who believed that love is shown through many small deeds rather than one heroic act.  Terry’s life has been an accumulation of small deeds that have added up to a life full of love.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in Saint Elizabeth Parish, 350 Reedsdale Road, Milton, Tuesday, March 20 at 10:00 AM.  Relatives and friends invited.  Visiting hours at Dolan Funeral Home, 460 Granite Avenue, EAST MILTON SQUARE, Monday 4-7 PM.  Interment Saint Francis Xavier Cemetery, Weymouth.

 Papa – known for his handiwork

Stevens, Kenneth A., aged 90, was born in Milton, raised in Dorchester, and made his home in Milton for 65 years.

He served in the Coast Guard in World War II. He passed away peacefully on March 24 surrounded by family. Beloved husband of Barbara A. (Lord) Stevens. Son of the late Aston and Agnes Stevens. Devoted father of Karen Brazell and her husband Daniel of FL, Joanne Lane and her husband Patrick of VA, Lynne Lawless and her late husband Mark of Westwood, Susan Newman and her husband James of Walpole, Kimberly Papirio and her husband John of Walpole and Kenneth Stevens II and his wife Karen of Norwood. Brother of Robert Stevens of NH, Alice Knickerbocker of Worthington, Muriel Conway of Holbrook, Dorothy Corridan of Weymouth, and the late Constance Gange. Also survived by 13 grandchildren and 1 late granddaughter and 9 great-grandchildren.

“I used to climb steeples, ya know” was a phrase heard often when Ken (or “Papa” as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren knew him), told stories of his days as a builder repairing churches and constructing houses. He was carpenter by trade, he built his family’s home on Dexter Street, driving every nail with his own two hands. Ken was a master craftsman at the lathe even after he went legally blind. There is no doubt, his stories will be retold for generations every time someone turns over a lathe-turned wooden bowl in their hands and finds the signature “KS” stamp. He was a builder of many things – the greatest of which was the legacy of his family. That legacy he built will live on in stories, sayings, jokes, and wooden bowls; but most of all in how he taught three generations to live, with character, integrity, humility, and value of family. His most valuable work carries the “KS” stamp in who he taught them to be, and how he taught them to love – because of this he was a very rich man.

He was the husband of Camilla (Corey) Collova, with whom he shared 50 years of marriage this past June 11^th. Born in Boston, MA, Charlie was the son of the late Santo and Lena (Yetto) Collova.

Charlie was a US Navy veteran, serving during World War II. He was a graduate of St. Michael’s College in Burlington, VT and earned his MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Charlie had worked as an account executive for various advertising agencies in the Boston area from the mid 1950s until 1965.

Naomi James

April 2^nd 1934 – March 22^nd 2018

Boston, MA

Naomi James was born on April 2, 1934 one of ten children in the small village of Layou in Dominica, West Indies. At eight years old her father died after which she was sent to live with an elderly aunt in Marigot another small village not too far away from her mother and other siblings.  At the age of 15, she ran away from home and eventually made her way to the Roseau the capital of Dominica, where she met Harry Elwin for whom she had three children- Rosamund, Eleanor and Gregory Elwin. Naomi was a strong willed, humble, hardworking, determined and fiercely independent woman. She had a sense of innocence about her which came through by her youthful giggle and laughter. She had a sense of style and loved the colour red. In her younger years, Naomi was an avid reader of romance novels and women s’ magazines. She loved the cinema, where she learned the songs she hummed or sang everyday for over sixty years.

Naomi arrived in Boston, forty years ago thanks to a family member who sponsored by family after a major hurricane in 1979.  Once here, Naomi demonstrated her tenacity and determination to set roots and foundation in her new home country. Like many immigrants, Naomi had dreams of having her own house and home. As a live in Housekeeper working for less than minimum age, no banking institution was willing to give her a mortgage.  However, that did not stop or deter Naomi. She canvassed local shop keepers in the Beacon Hill neighbourhood where she lived and shopped for her employer, telling them her story and convinced them to sign letters of support and recommendation to give to the bank. With pride and determination, she approached her employer and convinced him to co-sign her mortgage loan. Finally, she achieved her goal and became a homeowner.

Naomi became a member of Old West Methodist Church in 1986 , where she remained an active member until her death.  She had many friends in the congregation and her granddaughter Samantha was the first to be baptized there after a fifty year hiatus! Naomi leaves behind six grandchildren; Darvon and Samantha in the United States, Aziza and Tarik in Canada and Naomi and Makaya in France.  She also leaves behind 10 great- grandchildren many of whom have had the privilege of knowing her and have memories of their Gigi to hold on to..

Our family is thankful for all the years of love, friendship and support we received from Naomi, our mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend.  She will be deeply missed.

Family and friends are invited to Attend Visitation on Friday April 13, 2018 10:00am- 12:00PM in the Dolan Funeral Home, 1140 Washington St. Dorchester.  A Funeral Home Service will follow at 12:00PM.  Interment in Forest Hills Cemetery, Boston.

Peter Tarnoff of Osterville, MA passed away the morning of March 29, 2018 at age 68.

He lived a vibrant life and waved the white flag reluctantly. He had so many avocations in which he was fluent that one friend commented that he lived every day as if it were it was his last, but studied his interests as though he would live forever. He loved Cape Cod, his final home, but began his life in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Peter attended St. Luke’s School in New Canaan, Connecticut; he then went on to St. Lawrence University for two years before transferring to Boston University. There, while studying journalism, he nurtured his loves of photography and music. He was the first photo editor of the newly formed campus daily newspaper, The Daily Free Press, still in publication 48 years later. Peter loved music and he befriended musicians and music promoters alike in Boston, as he was much more than a casual fan. Latter day collectors of rock and roll images prized his music photos made beginning in the 1960s.

After college, Peter began a diverse career – working only in industries that he loved, including alpine skiing, wine, finance, and lastly education. It was not a surprise to his friends that Peter, as a legendary storyteller and unusually patient explainer of complexities, spent the remainder of his working life as an educator. He taught math and financial literacy at numerous schools on Cape Cod and in the Boston area.

Peter married Donna Driscoll-Tarnoff on April 25^th 1981, in Milton, Massachusetts. Peter and Donna met in 1979 in Connecticut, while both working in the ski industry. They enjoyed 31 years of marriage, skiing in Vermont, traveling in France and Italy, and raising their two sons Nicholas (31) and Alexander (28), until her passing in 2012.

Peter was pre-deceased by his beloved wife, Donna Driscoll, his father, Edwin Tarnoff, and his brother, Jeffrey Tarnoff. He was exceptionally proud of his two sons Nicholas, of Atlanta, GA, and his wife Chelsea, and Alexander, of New York, NY. He is survived by his mother, Betty Tarnoff, sons Nicholas and Alexander, and many nieces and nephews and large extended family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His friends have assured the family that they will fill the void of his absence with memories and stories too many to number.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend visiting hours on Tuesday
