JOSEPH LEVINE and SONS BERNSTEIN Dene Katzenberg Bernstein, 100, died peace- fully at her home in the Elkins Park House, on February 20, 2017.

She lived all her life among her many cous- ins and girlhood friends. She was the loving wife for thirty-nine years of Edgar Bernstein, who died in 1975. A homemaker and philan- thropist, she was active in Fellowship House and Farm, the Jewish Family and Children’s Service, and the World Affairs Council. She made numerous anonymous benefactions in- cluding many gifts of college tuition and a fund to care for Jewish HIV-AIDS patients. Her great loves were her family, her country, Tripp Lake Camp, traveling the world, paint- ing, antiques, reading, and laughing. She was a life-long patron of the orchestra, opera, theaters, and museums of Philadelphia. The character trait she most admired was “stick- to-itiveness.” The family is very grateful for the compassionate efforts of her longtime housekeeper Maria Pereira, her steadfast caregivers Beverly Brown, Tamika Whiting, Stacey Flowers, Stacey Scott, and the nurses of the Visiting Nurse Association of Greater Philadelphia. Dene will be sorely missed by her sons Alan (JoAnne) Bernstein, Philip (Leslie) Bernstein, her daughter Barbara (Irv) Berger, and Momodou Darboe of the Gambia; by her grandchildren Zachary Bernstein (with Jeri King and Rikio King), Steven (Deborah) Bernstein; Kerry (Schuyler) Fauver, Michael (Alexis) Bernstein, Anne (Matthew) Costello, Solomon Berger (with Lorraine Scolari and Kayden Hesser), and Jeremy (Monica) Ber- ger; her great-grandchildren Hannah, Owen, and Jacob Bernstein, Philip, Oliver, and Leo Fauver, Madison and Brooke Bernstein, Bern- ard and Beau Costello, Lucien Berger.

Helene was a true inspiration to many during the last six years (as she was through the rest of her life), as she fought with grace, dignity and strength, never giving in to the disease, through the very end. Helene is survived by her loving husband and best friend of 56 years Jerome Bogutz, children Marc (Laurie) Bogutz of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania and Tami Bogutz Steinberg of Voorhees, New Jersey, sister Lenore Koplin (Paul) Seidman of Henderson, Nevada, grandchildren Stephanie Bogutz, Jessica Bogutz and Ariel Steinberg and step-grandchildren Avital, Nadiv and Benjamin Steinberg. Helene was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 27, 1937. She was the daughter of the late Betty and Jack Ross. A graduate of Temple University with a B.A. in Education, Helene taught second grade in the Philadelphia school system. She later co- owned and operated a party decorating busi- ness on the Main Line in the late 70's/early 80’s. Helene was active in the American Friends of Hebrew University and was honored with Jerry as Founders of Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Helene was in- volved in local, state and national Bar Associ- ation activities for over forty years with Jerry. She brought her energy, passion and self- lessness to the many charitable and com- munity works she was involved in over the years. Her great loves were her family and friends, traveling, painting, needlepoint, golf- ing, gardening, theater, reading and simply enjoying life. Helene’s final thoughts re- mained focused on the issues of others rather than her own. Helene wanted future ovarian cancer patients to face a better out- look. Helene’s focus was on early detection, something almost nonexistent today. After spending time with the Director of The Penn Ovarian Cancer Research Center (part of the Abramson Cancer Center), Helene and Jerry established the Helene Ross Bogutz Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Fund at the Ab- ramson Cancer Center, which will be funding the first Helene Ross Bogutz Conference on early detection on October 16, 2017. The Conference will be hosted by doctors from the Abramson Cancer Center with speakers and attendees from major hospitals and re- search centers from around the country. Hopefully, the collaboration will accelerate progress on early detection. Helene was op- timistic that new treatments, cures and pre- vention of ovarian cancer are achievable. Helene wanted her greatest legacy, beyond her family, to be an increased focus on this somewhat neglected disease and attract oth- ers to support the effort. Relatives and friends were invited to Services at Beth Am Temple, 2259 Central Blvd., Jupiter, Florida on Monday, February 27, 2017 at 2 p.m. The burial followed at the Star of David Cemetery of the Palm Beaches, 9321 Memorial Park Rd, West Palm Beach, Florida.

She was born in the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood of Phil- adelphia, attended Girls High School, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and Women’s Medic- al College. She opened her offices for the practice of family medicine in the Wynnefield neighborhood of Philadelphia in 1951 and was joined by her husband, Dr. Reuben Cop- perman. After twenty five years of practicing together, they divorced. Gertrude continued working at her offices which were then in Bala Cynwyd. When she retired at the age of 75, she attended writing classes and pub- lished a book titled “I Was A Felon” about her experiences as a doctor and as a politically committed person. The title of the book refers to her methods of obtaining abortions for her patients before Roe versus Wade. It also includes her multi-national search of an herbally derived drug for A.L.S. (amyotroph- ic lateral sclerosis) and its use on a patient and friend. And she writes about her activity to get women more engaged in physical activity. After her divorce Gertrude also be- came more involved in athletic and feminist issues. For about a decade she was involved in a group of professional female athletes bringing medical education and athletic in- formation to countries such as Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador. She also took up windsurfing in her sixties, skied into her 80’s, and was riding a three wheel bicycle and dan- cing in the last year of her life. As a physi- cian she had always stressed the importance of exercise and she lived what she taught. She is survived by her two daughters, Joan of Massachusetts and Barbara of California, and will be remembered and missed by many with a smile in their hearts.

GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S RAPHAEL-SACKS CUTLER Herbert S Cutler died peacefully at home on March 8, 2017. Born in 1920, he grew up in the Depression and was always highly motiv- ated to do his best. Becoming a Boy Scout in- troduced him to his lifelong interests of bird- ing, photography and a love of Nature. He be- came an Eagle Scout and a member of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club in 1939 where he was a pioneering birder. His high IQ qualified him for officers training where he became a 2nd Lieutenant bombardier/navig- ator in the US Army Air Corps in WWII. In 1946 he worked at Perfect Photo and met Elizabeth Croll. They married in 1949 and had a wonderful, inspiring marriage for 67 years which begat 3 children, 8 grandchildren & 1 great grandson. He was one of the happiest family men in the world and appreciated his dear extended family. His life centered on family, business & travel. After working in the photographic industry for 18 years, he opened his own camera store, Cutler Camera, in 1965. There were 14 stores by the time he retired in 1997. He wrote a column for Photo Marketing Association; was on the board of Photographic Research Organization; atten- ded & helped organize conventions on a na- tional level and was honored for his service. He was proud that his sons continued the family business and of the many achieve- ments of his grandchildren. He and Elizabeth traveled to all 7 continents and about 75 countries. They visited quite remote areas to study birds and to Japan & China for photo industry trips that were groundbreaking at that time. Herbert’s generosity was well known and his values of honesty, loyalty, trustworthiness & integrity have been in- stilled in all of us. At 96 years, he was the longest-lived in his family and our patriarch. He was an exceptional provider, a devoted husband, father & brother and a truly good man. He will be deeply missed. Herbert is survived by: his sister, Augusta Gammon & brother Jerome Cutler; the love of his life: Elizabeth & their children David (Michele), Cheryl (Peter) & Richard (Marianna); loyalty, his grandchildren: Lauren Barnosky, Blake & Tara Cutler; Colin & Clare Cornberg; Ryan & Rachel Andes & Max Cutler; and his great grandson, Jonah Barnosky. Our thanks are extended to family and friends who have been so supportive in this time of sorrow. We are so privileged to have shared so many wonderful years together. Daddy wished us a very happy future with all his love. JOSEPH LEVINE and SONS Loretta F. Cutler passed away peacefully on March 17 at age 100. Loretta had a remark- able life.

That all changed when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Refus- ing to picture walls closing in on him, he painted an escape door and exploded through it into the next stage of his life; a stage where he would devote all of his time and energy to his artwork.

Sarra was born in 1924 outside of Kiev Ukraine (former USSR) and then moved to Baku Azerbaijan (USSR) in her teen years. She re- ceived a Mechanical Engineering degree from Azerbaijan State Oil and Industrial University (Baku Azerbaijan USSR). She worked for many years in Azerbaijan (USSR). She led an HVAC department in Sumgait, Azerbaijan for 5 to 10 years before mandatory retirement at age 55. After retirement in the Soviet Union, she moved to the USA in 1981. She worked at Kling Lindquist Inc. and then United Engin- eering/ Raytheon in Philadelphia PA until she retired in 1998 at the age of 73. After retire- ment, she spent time helping raise her grand- children and influenced the educational direc- tion they take today. She used her business and engineering mind to help the community where she lived. One of her legacies is the pedestrian light crossing at Chestnut Street and Route 38 in Cherry Hill, NJ. When all crossing gaps on NJ Rt. 38 were closed, that blocked people from crossing Route 38 between Cherry Hill Mall and a circle, she got a petition together, drew up drawings to demonstrate the problem and was able to convince the local government that this crossing was essential to the community and businesses in the area. Two years later, a pedestrian crossing light was installed and Cherry Hill Township and the Freeholders of Camden County NJ honored Sarra for this project. Since 2005 this pedestrian crossing light has benefited many people in the com- munity and will for many years to come.

Samuel Wurtzel, on March 8, 2017. Sam lived a purposeful and accomplished life right up to the moment he died peacefully in his adopted Kentucky home. Sam, as he was known to his family, clients and countless friends from Philadelphia to Madisonville, KY to Captiva, FL was engaging, generous and boundlessly curious. He was an entrepren- eur and innovator in investing, insurance and private wealth management. Sam was born in Rosenhayn, NJ and grew up in Philadelphia. He was a proud graduate of Central High School, and a 1958 business graduate of THE Penn State. An accomplished trumpetist and aspiring jazz musician, life circumstances de- manded he pursue a more practical career path. Same began working at Provident Mu- tual as a recruiting and training supervisor; he led the number one agency by 1963 and was eventually President of the Field Force. He established Financial Security Analysts (which served his customers for 50 years) and made Million Dollar Round table for 40 years, and Top 50 member for 25 years. Sam holds multiple degrees in advanced fin- ancial planning, and taught at both the Amer- ican College of Underwriters and Temple Dental School. Having lost his father at 17, Sam went on to become the father, husband and grandfather others did not have. His deep passion for his family and the many ways he could inspire each of them toward daily self-improvement in mind, body and spirit were his life’s mission. Sam was an ar- dent correspondent, and if you met him even once you were likely to receive a lifetime of newspaper articles and clippings perfectly suited to your interest. His mastery of vast swaths of knowledge was legend – a font of semi-useless knowledge, as he termed it. Sam is pre-deceased by his parents, Anna and William Wurtzel and his daughter Wendy, and by his beautiful wife of 45 years, Phyllis. He is survived by his sister Alma, his be- loved wife Shirley Spence PhD, and her chil- dren Bob Harvey, Sean Spence, Marisa Sample and her daughters Chloe and Peyton. He is the devoted father of David Wurtzel (Muna El-Shaks), Lisa Raiola (Waterman Brown), and Michele Bokun (Scott), and lov- ing grandfather of Austin and Stefanie Raiola, Abby and Lilly Bokun, Billy and Galena Wurtzel, Rachel Kachnycz, and Ardy Wurtzel. contributions in his memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or the World Jewish Congress.
