In Sharon, within Sharon Memorial Park, is this grave site for Frances Abigail Nigrosh, who lived for 100 years.
Sharon Memorial Park is located along Dedham Street. From Massachusetts Route 27, turn onto Edgehill Road and follow that road to Dedham Street. Turn right onto Dedham Street and follow that road to the main entrance on the left. The grave is located in an area known as Beth Hillel. It may be helpful to download a map from the cemetery web site, or you can go to the administration office/welcome center and get directions.
The grave is marked with a bronze plaque that is flat to the ground, like the vast majority of graves in the cemetery. Along the edge is a general rough design, then the family name, Nigrosh, appears in big letters. On the left is a plaque with the following text:
"Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother
Frances Abigail
[Hebrew text]
Aug. 29, 1912-Nov. 12, 2012."
I found the following obituary announcement about her:
"Nigrosh, Frances Abigail (Polak)

She married Israel "Skee" Nigrosh, an architect, in 1934 and they lived together for 47 years in a home that he designed in Belmont, MA. Several years after Israel's death in 1982, she moved to Easthampton, MA, to the Lathrop Community and later to Ruth's House and the Jewish Nursing Home in Longmeadow. They had two children, the late Leon Nigrosh of Worcester, MA, and Barry Nigrosh of Northampton, MA.
