Not obsessed, Elmore...concerned and feeling natural regrets, I'd say.

Amy Fonoroff   March 12, 2013
"NATICK: Amy Fonoroff, age 60, a former longtime Watertown resident, entered into rest on March 12, 2013, at her Natick home. She was the beloved daughter of the late Bernard and Esther (Sosnow) Fonoroff.

Born in South Bend, IN, Amy was raised and educated in Lexington, MA, until her later years in high school when the family moved to Poughkeepsie, NY. She attended Boston University until her junior year when she opted to study abroad in Nice, France. Europe held an attraction for her though and rather than return to BU, she made Ireland her home for the next two years.

Amy returned to the Boston area, living in Cambridge, Brookline, Lexington, Watertown, and finally Natick for the past five years of her life. Amy worked as a legal secretary in a number of law offices, including the Cambridge offices of Kurt Pressman, whom she had met when he represented students during political protests at BU, and later those of Michael Melford. With her sharp mind and quick wit, Amy became much more than a secretary, and developed lasting friendships with some of the attorneys she worked with.

A devotee of folk music, Amy and a friend cofounded Cat's Fiddle Productions, through which they found local venues for musicians from the British Isles. Amy was a classical music aficionado as well, and a particularly rabid Celtics fan – a great example of the broad spectrum of her interests. She was devoted to her cats, had many dear and lasting friendships, and most recently was passionate about following the progress of service dogs and puppies.

Although disabled and confined to her home in recent years, Amy reached out to others via Internet and phone, and gave what support she could to friends in need and causes she supported – especially for animals.

In addition to her many friends locally, Amy is survived by a sister, Nina Fonoroff of Albuquerque, NM, and her aunt, Ruth Fonoroff of Beachwood, OH.

A memorial gathering will be held in the Morse Institute Library, 12 East Central Street, Natick Center, on Saturday, April 20th from 1 – 3p.m. Please join many of Amy's friends in the Liebowitz Room on the library's lower level. Kindly RSVP via the guest book/tribute area below. Thank you.

As a point of interest, there will be a tribute to Amy on the radio show "Black Jack Davy" with Andy Nagy on WBRS 100.1 FM on Monday, April 1 at 8:30-10:30pm.

Those who wish to make a gift in Amy's name may do so to benefit either the servicedogproject.org or warriorcanineconnection.org. "
