She received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education from the University of Miami and was a teacher, educator and administrator. Director of early childhood and ultimately principal of Temple Emanuel Lehrman School Day School of Miami Beach.
Raised in Miami Beach she was, with her husband, a proud graduate of the 1960 class of Miami Beach High School. An elegant skier, an advanced open water scuba diver and an accomplished blue water sailor. She was an all-around amazing woman, wife and mother.
Loved by all who knew her. She will be missed as a cool breeze on a summer day or the warming sun in the fading afternoon light. We all love you sweetheart.
