Brooke L Yanow

Brooke was born in Boston, MA, the beloved daughter of Anne and Mark Yanow of Marblehead, MA. She is survived by her loving brother Jonathan Yanow of New York City, his wife Jennifer, her adored niece Alexandra – and her affectionate Maltipoo, Mollie. Cherished granddaughter of Muriel (and the late George) Bertman and the late Sally and Perry Yanow.

After attending Marblehead High School, Brooke graduated from Union College with a bachelor’s degree in English and earned her master’s degree in Education from Leslie University. She began her career as a first grade teacher in the Revere Public Schools before teaching kindergarten at the Eveleth and Glover Schools in Marblehead for more than 15 years. As a teacher leader, she participated on several school and district leadership committees. Her colleagues counted on her as a boundless team member, mentor, advocate for students and parents – and most of all a friend.

Brooke cherished her time spent with family, friends and respected colleagues. She was especially creative and enjoyed painting and working on artistic projects both at home and with her students. Brooke had a keen eye for fashion and loved to generously shower her loved ones with gifts from her shopping sprees. She enjoyed travelling to warm destinations and spent summers at the beach.
