SCHARF Natalie Scharf (née Mehlman) age 95, of
Northeast Philadelphia passed away peace-
fully on August 1, 2021 surrounded by her
loving family. Ms. Scharf, whose Hebrew
name is Necha bat Rasel, was born in Ja-
worzno, Poland in 1925. The Holocaust
decimated her family - her parents, Yitzhak
and Rasel, and three sisters, Chava, Rivka,
and Sarah, were killed along with many oth-
ers; she survived but spent several harrow-
ing years in the Gabersdorf labor camp. Her
brother, Leon, and one sister, Yadja, also
survived. She met her husband, Bernard, in a
displaced persons camp after the war and in
1947 they settled in Philadelphia. Ms. Scharf
worked as a seamstress for many years and
was a member and choir singer with the As-
sociation of Jewish New Americans. She
overcame her experiences to build a loving
family and is survived by her son, Jeffrey and
daughter-in-law Nancy, and her daughter An-
die and son-in-law Yehuda as well as grand-
children Joshua, Michael, Cara, Niva, and
Jonathan, and great grandchildren Aidan,
Daria, and Benjamin, plus many other family
members both blood and chosen. In remem-
bering her we are drawn to the MLK quote:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only
light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that.” Contributions in her
memory may be made to St. Mary Hospital,

town Rd, Langhorne PA 19047.

SHERMAN Tobi Shirley Sherman, 80, beloved wife,
mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend
to many, a long-time resident of Manheim
Township, died peacefully surrounded by her
loving family in Boca Raton, FL on July 23,
2021. She fought valiantly for more than two
years before succumbing to complications
following a battle against cancer. Born in the
Bronx, NY to the late Abraham and Sylvia
(Feldman) Folbaum, Tobi grew up in the Ox-
ford Circle neighborhood of Northeast Phil-
adelphia, graduating from Northeast High
School in 1959. Tobi was a lifelong lover of
many genres of music and was a gifted sing-
er during her younger years. While attending
a Tamiment Lodge reunion dance in Phil-
adelphia with a group of friends, she accep-
ted a dance request from a nice-looking
young guy named Bob who said he had
traveled from Lancaster with a friend to at-
tend the event. A whirlwind romance ensued,
and Tobi and Bob wed on November 19,
1960, whereupon they established a loving
home in Lancaster where Bob’s family and
business roots ran deep and where his par-
ents, the late Samuel and Kitty Sherman lov-
ingly embraced their new daughter-in-law.

Tobi and Bob were members of Temple Beth
El and Congregation Shaarai Shomayim in
Lancaster. Tobi was an incredible life partner,
domestic engineer, and athlete. She enjoyed
all of the cardio classes offered at the many
gyms to which she belonged. She played golf
and tennis, including many years as Bob’s
late-night doubles partner at Old Hickory
Racquet Club, and was a long-standing parti-
cipant in ladies' bowling leagues in Lan-
caster. Tobi was a devoted and competitive
mahjong and canasta player forging lifelong
friendships with her many game-table mates.

She was a devoted and loving mother and
homemaker with a passion for experiment-
ing with creative recipes and practicing
healthy eating. Her 1970’s religious school
carpool runs were legendary in pushing the
boundaries of physics (and the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) by seeing
how many kids could squeeze into her Pon-
tiac Firebird. Tobi cherished family rituals
such as visits to her parents’ home on
Souder Street in Philly, trips down the shore
to Atlantic City and to New York City for
shopping and eating, summers spent at the
Host Town pool and Sunday Zangari’s pizza
nights with the Moss family. She and Bob
shared a passion for collecting modern art
filling their homes with impeccable acquisi-
tions from galleries and artists. Music was a
constant in her life – the radio was always
turned on in the house and in her car, and
she and Bob (sometimes with the kids in
tow) frequented live performances of their fa-
vorites – Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand,
Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Jones and so
many others. Bob and Tobi also loved over-
seas travel, crisscrossing the globe several
times, aided by rental cars, road maps and
travel guidebooks. Each January Tobi and
Bob attended the National Association of
Homebuilders International Builders’ Show
concluded with a week of rest and relaxation
in Miami Beach. Eventually they purchased a
beachfront condominium an hour north in
Highland Beach. They later moved into a
single-family home in nearby Boca Raton
where they established a winter residence at
St. Andrews Country Club, making many new
and dear friends and welcoming frequent vis-
its by their children and grandchildren. Hav-
ing devoted her entire life to her family, Tobi
will be lovingly remembered and missed by
Bob, her beloved husband of 60 years, son
Stephen and his wife Susan of Bethesda, MD,
son Michael and his wife Jill of Lancaster,
daughter Judi and her husband Marc Levine
of Woodbury, NY, her 8 grandchildren, Ryan
and Rebecca Sherman, Samantha, Brett and
Alex Sherman, Chloe, Dylan and Jack Levine,
her brother and sister-in-law Bruce and Ilene
Folbaum, nephews and niece and many dear
friends. Tobi’s family is grateful to Diana

Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Jones and so
many others. Bob and Tobi also loved over-
