She retired in 1984 after teaching kindergarten and primary grades at Joppatowne and Edgewood elementary schools for 18 years.
She had first taught high school science in the 1940s in Carroll and Prince George's counties. Then in 1948, she went to work as a technical supervisor at Edgewood Arsenal, checking results from nuclear weapons tests until 1954 when she left to rear her children. She returned to teaching in 1966.
After she retired, she was a volunteer in the Harford County Office on Aging, preparing income tax returns and medical claim forms for senior citizens.
She was a native of Baltimore and a graduate of Aberdeen High School and Western Maryland College.
She was a mezzo soprano soloist with church choirs, choral groups and orchestras in the Baltimore area.
Services were set for 8 p.m. today at the Howard K. McComas III Funeral Home in Abingdon and at 11 a.m. tomorrow at Westminster Cemetery in Westminster.
Survivors include her husband, Malcolm G. Gordon, whom she married in 1952; a daughter, Sandra Rogers of San Antonio; a son, Bruce M.

Wagner, a retired medical technician, died Sunday of cancer at Meridian Franklin Woods Nursing Center. He was 66.
He retired in 1991 from the Fort Howard Veterans Administration Hospital, where he had been employed as a medical technician since 1961. Earlier, he had worked in cancer research at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1958 to 1961 and in quality control at the Glidden Paint Co.
After retiring from the VA hospital, he worked part time in a movie theater near Golden Ring Mall.
A history buff, the Essex resident enjoyed visiting the Gettysburg Battlefield, where his great-grandfather witnessed Abraham Lincoln's famous address in 1863.
Mr. Wagner was a co-founder of the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minn. "He thought she was the greatest talent ever born," said his wife of 35 years, the former Joyce Wile.
He had an extensive collection of Judy Garland tapes, records and books but never realized his ambition of meeting his idol.
"He did meet Margaret Hamilton, who played the wicked witch in 'The Wizard of Oz,' and he was thoroughly charmed by her," Mrs. Wagner said.
Born in Reading, Pa., Mr. Wagner was reared in Middle River, graduated in 1946 from Kenwood High School and attended the Johns Hopkins University.
Private burial services were set for today .
Other survivors include three brothers, Leon and Elwood Sweigert and Raymond George, all of Reading; and a sister, Margaret Dilullo of Florida.
Memorial donations may be made to Rosedale Baptist Church, c/o Building Fund, 9202 Philadelphia Road, Baltimore 21237, where he had been a member for many years.
