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.

Manny was a proud graduate of Penn State,

Pi. After graduating in 1959 with a B.S. in
Business, Manny served in the NJ Air Nation-
al Guard. Honoring his father’s legacy, he
became a well-respected executive in the
food industry, as President of Jack Green-
berg, Inc. The Federation Allied Jewish Ap-
peal awarded Manny the Abe Cooper Me-
morial Award of the Food Trades Industry, re-
cognizing his outstanding dedication and hu-
manitarian service to the Jewish Community.
He was involved with the B’nai B’rith Food

the Philadelphia Food Trades Organization.
Manny was a loyal congregant of Beth Sho-
lom Synagogue for 35 years, and he enjoyed
playing golf and tennis as a longtime mem-
ber of Ashbourne Country Club and Philmont

Phillies, Nittany Lions, US history, world

ily and friendships were his greatest joys.
Manny and Shauna were about to celebrate
their 40th anniversary, and he took tremend-
ous pride in his kids’ achievements, nurtur-
ing their dreams with encouragement and
steadfast support. He formed meaningful,
enduring relationships at every stage of his
life – some friendships lasting over 80 years.
