She was raised in Melrose where she graduated from Melrose High School and Westbrook College, and proudly worked for over 30 years as an Administrative Assistant for Lipton Tea Company.
In retirement, Polly and her husband Don enjoyed winters in Naples, Florida where they were able to golf and enjoy the sunshine together. Polly was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing in several weekly golf leagues over the years. Polly also enjoyed a good game of Bridge especially with her friends at the Stoneham Senior Center. A sociable person, she was a member of the Red Hat Society, enjoyed her aerobics classes, and lobster at Chauncey Creek in Kittery, ME.While spending time at Rye beach in New Hampshire as a child, Polly developed a love for the beach which she shared with her family throughout her life.
Polly was the beloved wife of the late Donald Blier with whom she shared 36 years of marriage. Devoted mother of Marsha DiPerri and her husband Mark of Melrose. Loving sister of the late Edwin Poynter and the late Gladys Davis. Cherished grandmother of Erin Tobin of Merrimack, NH, and great-grandmother of Jackson and Henry Tobin. She is also survived by her dear friend, companion and longtime caregiver, Connie.
