With love and sadness, we acknowledge the
passing of Fran Levin Gloger, 61, of Potom-
ac, Maryland. Fran passed away at John Hop-
kins University Hospital on October 9, 2021
at approximately 4:00 PM, surrounded by her
husband, children, parents, sisters and their
families. When Fran graduated from
Pennsylvania State University with a Bachel-
or of Science degree in Nutrition, her mis-
sion became to help others find and eat
healthy foods. Fran loved people and along
with her exuberant, affectionate spirit, she
was in many ways a healer and a guide from
whom friends and family sought advice. Fran
was born on February 26, 1960 in Phil-
adelphia, PA, the middle daughter of Edward
and Marilyn Levin. While an advocate of good
food choices all her life, she enjoyed wide-
ranging interests and occupations. She
owned a drapery studio, a flower business,
an import-export native-American jewelry
business in Santa Fe, and became a success-
ful real estate entrepreneur. An avid gardener,
she grew much of the organic produce she
ate and served her family and friends in her
large backyard garden. She enjoyed golf, ca-
nasta, yoga, reading, camping, fishing, and
traveling. She is survived by her beloved hus-
band Mark, a gastroenterologist and
someone whose interest in healing people
supported her own, and their children Ben,
Matt, and Jessie, for whom in the words of
her daughter Jessie, Fran orchestrated “every
day like a celebration,” her parents, siblings
Harriet Millan and Cheryl Levin and their chil-
dren and spouses, and Gloger family. Contri-

It is with profound sadness to acknowledge
the death of Shirley Esther Yentis Goldberg
Bookspan formerly of Philadelphia, Pa, and
currently of Siesta Key in Sarasota, Fl. Shir-
ley was born in South Philadelphia to Anna
Serota and Samuel Yentis, both Jewish im-
migrants from the village of Katelyinka in
Ukraine and Kiev, respectively. A first genera-
tion American, Shirley attended Overbrook
High School and throughout the 1950's she
studied art history, contemporary art, and
horticulture at the Barnes Foundation under
the esteemed Ms. Violet De Mazia in Merion,
PA. Throughout the 1960’s, she co-produced
with Dallie Mohammed, children’s theater in
Philadelphia (Phoenix Productions). Shirley
always believed that inclusion and diversity
were fundamental to community progress,
and ensured that Phoenix Productions paved
the way as the first integrated theatre com-
pany in the Philadelphia area. Families and
children knew Shirley as The Storybook Lady,
a title in which took great pride and joy.

Later, Shirley produced an award nominated
television special for PBS highlighting young
prodigy musicians. A passionate lover of mu-
sic, arts and nature, she spent much of her
time volunteering as a docent with the Phil-
adelphia Orchestra at the Kimmel Center for
Performing Arts, the Curtis Institute of Music,
and the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia,
as well as the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens-
-Historic Spanish Point in Sarasota, Fl. Shir-
ley was a volunteer and member of the Sara-
sota Democratic Party and an avid reader
who adored her book club and it's members.

Shirley was loved by so many with whom she
came in contact, touching the lives of a multi-
tude of people. She imparted to her family a
deep love of theater, art, nature, music,
dance, animals and a spirited celebration of
life in all its stages. A strong and passionate
democrat and human rights advocate, she
never hesitated making her views known and
insisting injustice at every level of society
must be fought. She taught her family to lead
by her example, in her boldness, her glam-
our, her fierce spirit, independent nature and
her courage to always be exceptionally her-
self. Twice widowed, she was first married at
17 years of age to Albert L. (Boomie) Gold-
berg until his death in 1984, and later to Mi-
chael (Mickey) Bookspan, both of Phil-
adelphia. She is survived by her two daugh-
ters, Barbara Goldberg Goldman (Michael F
Goldman) and Robin Goldberg Coleman (Mi-
chael Coleman) both of Potomac, MD, five
grandchildren Josh Coleman (Alissa Richin
Coleman), Julianna Goldman Gottlieb (Mi-
chael J Gottlieb), Samantha Goldman, Kelen
Coleman and Arielle Goldman, and four
great-grandchildren Jacob, Austin, Abner,
and Molly. In addition to her children, she
was the beloved sister of the late Marlene
Yentis Greenberg, and the aunt of two nieces,
Dr. Suzan Greenberg (Milt Tarshish) and El-
len Greenberg, and one nephew, Dr. Michael
Greenberg (Carol Greenberg), two grand-
nieces Dr. Yael Tarshish and Anna Tarshish
(Nathaniel Levy), three grand-nephews Nath-
aniel Tarshish, Gus Greenberg and Jessie
Greenberg and one great-grand nephew Lipa.

She will be loved, deeply missed, forever re-
membered by, and remain in the hearts of
her family members, and all who knew and
were touched by both her inner and outward
strength, magnetic presence and remarkable
beauty. May her name and memory be a
blessing for generations to come. In honor of
Shirley's memory, the family has asked that
donations be made in her name to the The
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota,
FL (http://selby.org/support/memorial) and
