This morning we bring you the sad news of the passing of our neighbor, Keren Abra. Keren came to Sunnyside from her birthplace in Wellington, New Zealand in 1979. She was accompanied by her husband, Bob whom she met while attending college in Glasgow, Scotland.
Together with Bob, she raised two boys, Graham and Lewis here and became an elementary school teacher at Sacred Heart. During that time she became an active member of the community as she co-chaired with Bob the Greening Committee. She worked to beautify Monterey Boulevard and the Circular Ribbon Garden and she worked on regular Sunnyside Conservatory volunteer clean-ups. Keren also led the New Zealand/Australia plant docent tours at the SF Botanical Gardens including one just for the Sunnyside Garden Club. In 2012 Keren was awarded an SNA volunteer award for that work.
Keren left a positive legacy in our neighborhood and we will miss her very much. The SNA board sends our heartfelt condolences and best wishes to Bob as he endures this difficult time.
