Obituary for Hilda Radin (Krasner)

Hilda (Krasner) Radin, 93, of Williamstown died on May 26 at her home in Sweetwood of Williamstown. She was born in New York City on July 30, 1923, a daughter of the late Rubin & Rose (Lifshitz) Krasner.

Hilda graduated Theodore Roosevelt High School and Yiddish High School in New York City. Later in life she attended Westfield State College.

During World War II she served as "Rosie the Riveter", an icon of American patriotism and industry, representing the American women who worked in factories and shipyards. This was a radical step for women at that time, as most were expected to stay home and care of their families. She was featured in a newsreel of the period as "Rosie". Hilda was certified as a welder and took great pride in her work, making the steel armature of military gliders that were dropped over enemy territory in Europe. Hilda was a devoted homemaker, taking loving care in raising her two sons. She always emphasized love, family, and continuous education as a model for life. Hilda later worked as an occupational therapist in the Psychiatry Unit at Springfield Hospital. She was a general manager for her husband’s art studio in Agawam, MA. Hilda enjoyed reading and for many decades was a member of the Great Books Foundation. She was a lifelong learner, and read up until the time of her passing. She was also an avid sewer, knitter, and enjoyed crocheting, mahjong and cooking. She also enjoyed keeping up with the latest technology by following the extended family on Facebook and reading the New York Times online.

Hilda leaves her husband, Jerome Radin. They were married on February 27, 1944 in New York City. Shortly after the wedding, Jerome was deployed in the Merchant Marines in anticipation of the Invasion of Normandy. They were devoted spouses for 73 years. Hilda leaves her two sons, Dr. Len Radin and his wife, Dr. Darlene Radin, of Williamstown and Dr. Dean Radin and his wife, Susie Demarinis, of Petaluma, CA. She leaves three grandchildren, Chaya Radin of Framingham, MA; Michelle Carroll of Eagle River, Alaska; Dr. Katie Rose Wagner of Somerville, MA; and a great grandchild, Katherine Carroll of Eagle River, Alaska. She also had many nephews and nieces that loved her dearly. She was predeceased by her older sister, Irene Linder.

FUNERAL NOTICE: A memorial service for Hilda will be held at Congregation Beth Israel in North Adams on Sunday, June 4 at 2:00. Donations may be made to Congregation Beth Israel in North Adams, MA or to the Yiddish Book Center of Amherst, MA through the Flynn & Dagnoli Funeral Home, 74 Marshall St. North Adams, MA 01247.
