Saundra Feher died peacefully at her home in Stevenson Ranch, California on January 2, 2025. She was 79 years old. She will be terribly missed. She treated people, no matter how or where she met them as though they were her good friend, always focusing on their wonderful qualities.
Although she was very humble about it, she lived an extraordinary life. She earned her Undergraduate and Master's degrees at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in Clinical Psychology in 1971, followed by post graduate work in Organizational Psychology at the Wright Institute at Berkeley, California. She worked with governmental organizations as a disability analyst and as an organizational psychologist in the development of human resources.
In the midst of her career, she left her passion of organizational psychology to take care of her husband, Robert J. Feher, a holocaust survivor, who was suffering from a rare terminal illness. In addition, she took over his distressed commercial real estate business in San Francisco. She refused to let him or the business die. She searched for alterative cures for his disease and ultimately found homeopathic doctors who prolonged his life. She became a life-long advocate for homeopathic treatment. Eventually, Robert succumbed to his illness while the business remained at the edge of collapse. Saundra persevered to turn it around through sheer determination, will and conviction.
She retired from the business and embarked on a journey where she explored the deepest meaning of her spiritual roots. She was at her core Jewish. She explored her relationship to her connection to God wherever it took her including the Jewish connection to Jesus. She would say that “God is incomprehensible”. She would recall that as a little girl that when walking alone she would hear God tell her that "life was a gift".
Her presence was a gift to us all.
She is survived by her son, Vincent Feher and her nieces, Sheena and Rachel Goldstein.
A Graveside Service for Saundra will be held Monday, January 20, 2025 at 1:00pm at Eden Memorial Park 11500 Sepulveda Blvd, Mission Hills, CA 91345.
