was born in 1952. They opened a dry clean-
ing store followed by a men's clothing store.

They worked hand-in-hand throughout their
lives, enduring many hard years, before joy-
fully retiring to Florida. She is survived by her

their spouses Meyer Rohtbart and Leah Tell-
er, and was the beloved Bubby to seven
