Frimi Sagan

December 28, 2016

Frimi Sagan, age 90, passed away peacefully December 28 in Dedham, MA. She was preceded by the love of her life, Eli Sagan, after 65 years of marriage. She is survived by her children Miriam (Richard) (first husband, Robert, deceased), Rachel (Steve), Susannah (Andy), and Daniel (Alisa), grandmother of Isabel, Max, Ezra, Sophie, Tobias, Leah, and Sonya. Frimi was a teacher by both profession and vocation. Raised in Chelsea, MA, Frimi graduated from Radcliff College in 1946, and moved with Eli to New York upon marriage, entering graduate school at Columbia University. They eventually settled in Englewood, NJ where they raised their family. Frimi began teaching English and Russian literature at the Dwight-Englewood School in 1968. A woman who combined brilliance, elegance, and charm, Frimi ardently pursued the life of an intellectual. The written word was her passion, as were all things beautiful, including works of art and horticulture. An accomplished amateur pianist, Frimi was known as a giving, gracious, and helpful presence in countless lives. A beloved teacher, she retired from Dwight-Englewood in 2011, and continued pursuing her adoration of music, the arts and literature at her new home in Dedham, not far from where she spent her formative years, and Martha’s Vineyard where they summered. Donations may be made to the Frimi Giller Sagan Fund at the Dwight-Englewood School (www.d-e.org). Shiva will be held Wednesday, January 4th at 6:30 at the home of Susannah Sagan and Andy Katz.
