Last I heard, she lives in NYC. Her husband was Gerald Gottlieb, the Pierpont Morgan Library curator of Early Children's Books at the Library. He died in 2009. (Funny thing is, some claim he was born in 1923; others say 1920.)
For those who don't know, here's what it says on the back cover:
"What secret lies hidden in the mechanical dolls? Why are two men so eager, suddenly, to buy them? 'And isn't it queer,' Nina tells her friend Muffin, 'that both men have exactly the same name?' Nina has always loved her father's antique shop -- full of odd mysterious things. And the old dolls have always been like her friends. But something very strange is going on! Muffin and Nina aren't sure what it is, but they do know that the silent friends are in danger."
Here's the cover and two illustrations in B&W:

Great to give to any kid who hasn't read "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick or seen Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" yet - and even those who have, might be interested!
