Pearl Leferson

The amazing Pearl Leferson has left this world peacefully with her children at her side, and has joined Joe, her beloved husband of over 72 years, in heaven. Left to cherish her memory are those she loved most: her children David & Sue, her precious grandchildren Michael (Teri) Leferson, Jill (Eric) Bernstein, Wendy (Alan) Speert, her much adored great-grandchildren Jacob & Nickolas Leferson, Benjamin & Abigail Bernstein, Nathan & Hannah Speert, her dear sisters Ruth Greenfield & Marion Goren, special former daughter-in-law Terry Leferson, a special friend, Yolanda, and many other relatives and friends.

Pearl was active well into her 97th year. She swam with friends at the JCC three times a week, modeled outfits for the North Stamford AARP fashion shows and arranged their bus trips to the Mohican Sun Casino on a regular basis, played duplicate bridge regularly and earned many Masters points, obtained her Amateur Radio (Ham) license (KA1DKD), and even made her Bat Mitzvah in 1991, at the age of 74. She was totally selfless, and would do anything for anyone in need. She will be terribly missed.

The funeral service will be Sunday Feb 8th at 1 pm at Temple Sinai, on Lakeside Drive, followed by burial next to Joe at Fairfield Memorial Park on Oaklawn Ave, both in Stamford.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Temple Sinai, the American Cancer Society (for research into a cure for pancreatic cancer) or the charity of your choice, in Pearl’s name.
