(Wentzell) Prew, age 58, of North Attleboro, formerly of Mansfield, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, following a short illness on Sunday, August 29, 2021 at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. She was the beloved wife and best friend of Herbert A. Prew, Jr., to whom she was wed on May 3, 1985.

She loved the New England Patriots, especially when Tom Brady was at the helm and had a special fondness for Hallmark Christmas stories and trips to Plymouth, for a delicious lobster roll, at her favorite restaurant, the East Bay Grille.
