DUBB Alisha Beth Dubb (nee Cherry). Alisha, be-
loved mother, daughter, sister, cousin, and
dear friend, died on September 12th of meta-
static breast cancer at age 50. She is sur-
vived by her daughters, Hannah Dubb and
Sydney Dubb, her mother, Janet Cherry, and
her sister, Deborah Cherry, and is prede-
ceased by her father, Arthur Cherry. She was
an amazing, loving and special person who
lived in Philadelphia most of her life. A gradu-
ate of Central High School, Class of 247, and
the University of the Arts, she was on the
board of the Jewish Children’s Folkshul and
an active member of the Philadelphia Folk-
song Society for over 25 years. Alisha was
the epitome of a “happy camper”– she loved
to camp, starting with an annual trip to the
World’s End State Park with her Central H.S.
friends, then onto the PFS Spring Thing, Folk
Festival and Fall Fling. Alisha was creative
and generous, loved cooking, and having
parties. Alisha was a people-gatherer and had
a particular knack for collecting interesting
and eclectic friends. Her friends then became
dearest friends with each other. Her warmth
and generosity were felt by all who knew her.
She was described as a “bright light” in any
room. In lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to the Jewish Children’s Folkshul,

FRANK Ruthie Frank (née Leibowitz) passed away
peacefully in her home on August 29th, 2021,
surrounded by her family. Ruthie was born
in York, PA - the only child of Mose and Mary
Leibowitz. She was the apple of their eye.
And it was easy to see why. Ruthie had intel-
ligence, style, beauty, grace, and warmth.
She attended the University of Pennsylvania
and was the President of Alpha Epsilon Phi
sorority her senior year in 1960. She met her
soon-to-be husband, Paul, at a friend’s wed-
ding, and it was love at first sight. Paul, who
also studied at the University of
Pennsylvania, was on his way to becoming a
successful Ophthalmologist, and the two
married during Ruthie’s senior year at Penn.
Ruthie and Paul shared a long and wonderful
life together - 60 years, and enjoyed many
pursuits, including reading, theatre, travel,
tennis, golf and partnering together to be-
come Silver Life Master bridge players. Ruth-
ie had a love of education and was a college
advisor for many years. She was also an avid
reader and member of a book club for over
20 years. The lesson we can all take away
from Ruthie is having the drive to challenge
herself and take on new pursuits. Ruthie was
the beloved mother of Steven Frank, Susan
Boland, Ellen Cohen (Peter), and Nancy
Breslin (Charles) and the adored grandmoth-
er of eight grandchildren: Emma and Claudia
Boland; Eve, Jane, and Asher Cohen; and
Alan, Kate, and Lila Breslin. Ruthie was hap-
piest when her family surrounded her during
celebrations such as Thanksgiving and Fath-
er’s and Mother’s Day. With four children and
eight grandchildren, Ruthie always found in-
dividual time for everyone whether Broadway
shows or special trips. “Grandma Ruthie is
my biggest fan” is what her grandchildren
would say as she showed genuine interest in
the day-to-day of each of her grandchildren’s
lives. Ruthie had a circle of close friends who
she supported with calls, letters, and visits,
who supported her, and who she held dear to
her heart. Funeral services were private. Con-
tributions in her name may be sent to Re-
form Congregation Keneseth Israel, 8339 Old
York Road, Elkins Park, PA 19027, or Abing-
ton Health Foundation, 1200 Old York Road,

On August 30, 2020, the world lost a one-of-
a-kind man, Joel Louis Glauser. He was a lov-
ing and devoted husband, father, grandfather,
brother, uncle, friend and accountant.
However, his greatest success was how he
loved his family. There is not a day that goes
by that Joel is not missed. People like to say
that Joel was “larger than life” and had a
“heart of gold”. He was a successful busi-
nessman and problem-solver. He treated all
of his clients and friends as if they were his
extended family. Joel is survived by his wife
of 40 years, Marcy Glauser; his children,
Jerry, Michael, Brian (Audra), and Jennifer;
his grandchildren, Levi and Noah; his broth-
er and sister-in-law, Gary and Shari Glauser;
and his sister-in-law and brother-in-law,
Hope and David Schaefer.
