She was the daughter of Samuel [Simcha] Nesin, a union organizer and founding member of the Communist Party, and Celia [Tzupa] Chattick Nesin (the two were never formally married). As a child, her family lived in the United Workers Cooperative Colony in the Bronx, NY. The community, also known as "The Coops", of about 700 families was a Jewish labor housing cooperative that practiced the utopian ideals of equity and a just society.

After attending Hunter College, she enlisted in the US Navy. She was later featured in a documentary film titled "At Home in Utopia", about her growing up in the "Coops".

Interment for her and her husband on November 2, 2018.
