She was employed by the Torrington Department of Education as a secretary and worked at the old East School and at Torringford School for many years before retiring in 1984. She participated in many civic and community activities with her husband, was a founding member and active supporter of FISH (Friends in Service Helping), and supported a variety of charities. Mrs Post was a troop leader with the Northwestern Connecticut Girl Scouts and a member of the League of Women Voters. She was active with the Sullivan Senior Center of Torrington and received citations for her years of volunteer work. She was a voracious reader and lifelong learner, attending many community college courses, and was also an accomplished knitter, quilter, and painter, as well as a devoted wife and mother.

 The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the caregivers at the Alzheimer’s Resource Center for the exceptional kind and loving care extended to their mother.
