Adele Rose Blumenkrantz

She was the daughter of the late Gertrude (Levine) and Julius Frankel, wife of the late Harold M. Blumenkrantz, devoted mother of Philip Blumenkrantz of Philadelphia, Karen Evans of Boston, and grandmother of Scott and Erica Evans.

Adele was born in New York City on January 4, 1925 and grew up in Brooklyn. Upon marrying, she moved to Manhattan, and later, Teaneck, NJ. and Concordia, a retirement community in Monroe, N.J. Since 2011, she resided at the Orchard Cove Continuing Care Community in Canton, MA.

Adele received a B.A. from Brooklyn College with a double major in psychology and economics. She worked as a statistician in Macy’s iconic department store in NYC and enjoyed participating in the Macy’s Day Parade. She travelled throughout the US, Europe, and Israel. Adele and Harold enjoyed winters in Hallandale, Florida.

Friends and relatives remember Adele as an unassuming, quiet woman who “never made a fuss” and was kind, serious, frugal and empathetic; someone who always thought of her kids before herself. She enjoyed reading, particularly the daily newspaper. She and Harold were generous benefactors of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Jewish Federation.

Besides her children and grandchildren, she is survived by a son-in-law, David Evans of Boston, a daughter-in-law, Carolyn Wyman of Philadelphia, three nephews, two nieces, and seven cousins. She was predeceased by a sister, Bernice Yuriditsky.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Graveside Service on Friday, May 16th at 1:00 PM at New Montefiore Cemetery, 1180 Wellwood Avenue, West Babylon, NY.

A memorial gathering will be held on Tuesday, May 27th, from 4 PM to 6 PM, at the Cove Card Room, Orchard Cove Senior Living Community, 1 Del Pond Drive, Canton, MA.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Adele’s name may be made to the charity of your choice.
