PETERBOROUGH — Constance R. Sable, 86, of Prospect Heights died May 22, 2010, at Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough.

She was a property manager at Forest Ridge in Nashua for many years and volunteered for the Red Cross as a nurse’s aide during World War II.

She is survived by her daughter, Lee Sable Freund of New York City; her granddaughter, Daisy Freund of Boston, Mass.; her brother, Melvin Shure of Searsmont, Maine; her niece, Anne Shure of Lexington, Mass.; her nephews, Kenneth Shure of Camden, Maine, and Howard Shure of Edgewater, Md.; and her beloved Corgi, Hazel.

A memorial service is planned for June 6 in Camden, Maine.
