EDYE L.

Edye L. Rulin of Cambridge, Massachusetts, passed away on March 8, 2025, at the age of 65.

She is survived by her partner of 25 years, Paul Watson; her siblings, Renee B. Rulin, Elliott G. Rulin (Paula), and Judy Rulin (Chuck z"l) Mahan; her nephews, Matthew Rulin Mahan, Lou Najjar-Rulin, Josh Najjar-Rulin, and Adam (Hannah) Valen; and her great-nephew, Emerson DeAlencar. She is also survived by her father, Dr. Marvin C. Rulin.

Edye was born in Pittsburgh and was an avid lifelong Steelers fan, even while living in hostile Patriots territory. She was one of the originators of the Rulin Family Football pool. Edye found joy on the beach in the sun on the coast of Maine, and especially when she was there with Paul. She was a voracious reader, and always had a library novel and daily Globe at hand.

Edye graduated magna cum laude from Tufts University in 1980. She began her career in retail management, but found her passion in non-profit financial management for local human service organizations. She was a strong believer in giving back to her Cambridge community, both in time and money. After an early retirement, she especially loved her annual volunteer work as a tax preparer at the Brookline Senior Center.

Funeral was private. Donations in Edye's memory may be made to Transition House, https://www.transitionhouse.org/how-to-support-us.
