GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS www.goldsteinsfuneral.com TO PLACE A MEMORIAL AD CALL 215.832.0749 2 NOVEMBER 2021 Esther Berkow — beloved mother and grand- mother, pioneer nurse practitioner, and champion of children — died on October 14, 2021 in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. Esther was born in Chicago and grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. After high school, Esther trained as a registered nurse and then married her high school sweetheart, Robert Berkow, who was studying medicine. Esther accompanied Robert while he completed a stint in the U.S. Air Force, before they settled in Rochester, New York. In 1968, as one of only six parti- cipants, Esther completed a brand-new pilot program to become a nurse practitioner. She went on to specialize in pediatric medicine, starting in Rochester, where she partnered with Dr. Cenie Cafarelli. Esther liked to say that she had five hundred children under the age of twelve — her beloved patients. In 1975, the family moved to the Philadelphia area, where Esther helped found and then led a well-baby clinic under the auspices of the Visiting Nurses Association in Lansdale, PA. In this role, she served hundreds of low-in- come mothers and their children — and in some cases their grandchildren — over the next two decades. Throughout her life, Esth- er contributed to the fight for social and ra- cial justice and advocated for children, with whom she always fostered a special connec- tion. A life-long learner, she pursued a range of interests and devoted time and energy to developing her many creative talents and ex- ploring her love of nature. Most of all, however, Esther’s signature gift to all who crossed her path manifested through her generous and caring nature, her kindness, and her focused desire and ability to nurture others. She exercised an impressive level of agency throughout her life — drawing on her fiercely independent spirit to chart her own course, guided always by a set of deeply held values and a strong moral compass. Esther is survived by three children of her own — Mi- chael, Ruth (Ron-deceased), and Susan (Pierre) — along with her adopted-by-prac- tice daughter Nancy and four grandchildren — Rachel, Naomi, Ben, and Joseph. All who knew her will sorely miss her presence but take comfort from the precious, cherished memories that remain. The family would dir- ect anyone interested in making a donation in Esther’s memory to Smile Train and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. JOSEPH LEVINE and SONS www.levinfuneral.com BRANDEIS Edward E.

Joan was a woman of many in- terests: an avid reader, an active member of Beth Am Israel synagogue, a devoted sports fan, and an athlete herself. When she wasn’t playing tennis or golf you could see her root- ing for the Eagles or passionately following the Phillies. She had been a baseball fan since she was a girl, when she and a friend founded and were co-presidents of the Lou Limmer Fan Club (of the old Philadelphia A’s), of which they were the only two mem- bers. Joan was the center of her extended family, and especially cherished her special relationship with her six grandchildren. As a mother she spent endless hours driving her kids to and from their practices and watch- ing every single game, and did the same as a grandmother. Her generosity and love went beyond words. Joan Hannah Ostrum was born on December 24, 1937 in Germantown, and grew up above her father’s pharmacy, where as a little girl she would assist making milkshakes in the old-fashioned soda foun- tain. She graduated with a degree in Educa- tion from Temple in 1958 and began teach- ing at Stokley Elementary School in Straw- berry Mansion. In 1960 Joan loaned a dress to a girlfriend who had a date with a young med student, and dragged him over to Joan’s house to show it off. Two weeks later that med student, Phil Pearlstein, asked Joan out on their first date. They went on to marry and spend 60 wonderful years together. Joan was incredibly resilient and overcame the loss of her own mother as a small child to create a wonderful life for herself, her husband, and their three beautiful children. She and Phil loved the Jersey shore, and spent much of their free time in a house they bought in Ventnor, NJ in 1966. In addition to raising their children and overseeing Phil’s medical practice, Joan always had an artistic eye and an elegant sense of style, which led to a re- warding career as an antique dealer. Keeping fit was also a priority: Every morning for 40 years Joan and her dear friend Bobbie would walk for miles, then join the regulars at Mur- ray’s Delicatessen for breakfast. Joan was an intensely strong woman. Before succumbing to a glioblastoma, she had survived two pre- vious cancers and was even hit by a car in 2019 and walked away without a scratch, at- tending her usual Pilates class that same af- ternoon. She always talked about how lucky she was to have such a loving and close fam- ily, and fought till the end to be with them. Because of that determination, in the last six months of her life she was present to celeb- rate various family milestones, including an elementary school graduation, two college graduations, her 60th wedding anniversary, and the weddings of her two oldest grand- children. She was very insistent how grateful she was to have had such a great life. Joan is survived by her husband Philip, her children Robert (Cindy), Ferne (Robert Edwards), and James (Karen), her grandchildren Haley (Billy Haberstroh), Ian (Jenny), Alex, Jake, Jenna, and Eloise, and her sister Frances Ostrum Gould. She was pre-deceased by her mother Freda, her father Isadore, and her sister Shir- ley Ostrum Tapper. Graveside services were held on Wednesday, October 27, 2021, at Haym Salomon Memorial Park, Frazer, PA. Memorial donations may be made to a char- ity of your choice in Joan’s memory. JOSEPH LEVINE and SONS www.levinefuneral.com HONOR THE MEMORY OF YOUR LOVED ONE... CALL 215-832-0749 Sylvia Perelman (nee Garrett) was born on July 4, 1929, and died October 17, 2021. She was the beloved wife of the late David; loving mother to Don, Rich, and Caryn, and to their spouses, Elise, Justine, and Ian; adoring grandmother to Liz (Tanuj), James, Ben, Sarah, Isabel, and Conor; and delighted great grandmother to Nina. In addition, she was a much-loved sister of Len Garrett and sister- in-law of Judy Garrett, Helen and the late Mike Goetz, and Victor Goetz, as well as a loved and admired cousin and aunt to many nieces and nephews. Sylvia and David met on a group date at Longwood Gardens though both were there with other people. They in- stantly hit it off and were married in less than a year. In her late 30’s, after having three children, Sylvia completed a Masters in Eco- nomics at the University of Pennsylvania. She became a professor of Economics at Bucks County Community College where she was also an active member and leader of the teachers’ union, leading the union through two successful strikes. In retirement, she vo- lunteered at the Women’s Center of Mont- gomery County in Norristown, PA. Sylvia worked on the Crisis Hotline, handling diffi- cult and emotional calls with the same ten- derness that she brought to all of her person- al dealings. Later in life, Sylvia and David moved to the Hill at Whitemarsh, where they enjoyed making many new friends. Sylvia es- pecially enjoyed not having to cook meals every night and she frequently celebrated din- ners with a glass (or two) of wine. Sylvia loved to travel and did so extensively. She went to Cuba with her brother in the 1950’s and later traveled to many countries with her husband, and then with children, grandchil- dren, friends, and other family. If you wanted to go somewhere, Sylvia was always game to go along. One of her favorite places was Ix- tapa, Mexico, where she went every January for decades, meeting up with many of the same people. Sylvia had many interests. She loved reading and was a long-time member of the Philadelphia Great Books Council and an active book discussant into her 90s. She enjoyed the opera, and frequently traveling to New York with her friends for a day and night of it. She was also an avid tennis player and fan, often staying up late to watch the US Open matches. Sylvia took great pride in all of her grandkids and loved them all dearly. One of her favorite pastimes was being with them, whether shopping, getting manicures, having dinner, or just taking a walk. One of her greatest thrills was meeting her first great grandchild, Nina Sylvia, who was born in Au- gust 2021 and came to visit in October. Her joy at seeing and holding Nina was unpar- alleled. At her core, Sylvia was a kind and deeply caring woman who took pleasure in the company and happiness of her family and many friends. Contributions in her memory can be made to the Women’s Center of Mont- gomery County, Pennsylvania. A memorial service will be held in the spring.
