PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Sidra Eckman died Nov. 18 at The Philip Hulitar Inpatient Center in Providence after a courageously fought battle with cancer. Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, to the late Arthur and Annabelle (Bloom) Eckman, she lived for several years in Boca Raton, Florida, after living for many decades in Providence.

 

Sidra was a former co-owner of Daily Bread Bakery and the owner of Spoons Soup Cafe, both in Providence. Her most cherished role, however, was that of mother to Emma Williams and her husband, James Rochford, of Pawtucket. She was the sister of Bruce, Reisa and her twin, Marla, and proud grand-cat-mother of Lulu.
