Fern was born and raised in the Bronx, NY, before moving to West Orange. Fern (Miller) married Daniel Yanofski, on November 22, 1976. Fern began her professional life teaching, but started selling real estate 30 years ago. 15 years ago, Fern and Dan founded Elite Realtors of New Jersey. Today, it is over 300 realtors strong and run by their son, Scott. Fern loved spending time with her family, traveling, going to the beach, being an amazing Mimmy and a cold Diet Coke, with extra lemon!
Fern is survived by her loving husband Dan, her brother Sheldon (Miriam) Miller, her children Jason Yanofski, Heather (Jared) Lowy, Scott (Shari) Yanofski and her grandchildren Lance and Dustin Lowy.
Fern was a shining light to all who knew her, and her memory is a blessing. Funeral is 11:00am at Bernheim-Apter-Kreitzman Suburban Funeral Chapel followed by graveside service at Beth El Cemetery, Paramus, NJ.
Donations may be made in her memory to the American Cancer Society.
