DEATH NOTICES
HEISMAN Kenneth Melvin Kron, M. D., lovingly known
as ‘Dr. Kron’ and ‘Dr. K.K.’ by those who
knew him professionally and formally, ‘Ken’
by friends and family, ‘Dad’ and ‘Daddy’ by
his daughters and ‘Pop’ by his grandchildren
passed peacefully, surrounded by family,
from this world on Nov. 25, 2020. A hus-
band, father, grandfather, son, brother and
friend. A physician and volunteer. Preceded
in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Ter-
ese “Teddy” nee Herrman. Survived by his
daughters, son-in-law and grandchildren:
Linda Kron, Carol “Zoe” Kron and Judy Kron
Berger & Bob Peckham; Cindy Bregman and
Jesse & Brittany Bregman; Daniel Porter;
Max Berger, Jules Berger and Jacob Berger.

Survived by his sister Barbara Kron Zimmer-
man, cousins, and five nieces. His love of
family was most important to him. He was
way ahead of his time when it came to creat-
ing balance between work and family. He
spent long summers on Cape Cod, traveling
the world with his wife and friends and fam-
ily, attending Phillies games for over 65
years, participating in the rich cultural world
all around him and trying all kinds of hob-
bies and interests. He loved food and par-
took of all ethnic and creative culinary experi-
ences, sharing it with family and friends. He
was a proud veteran and loved this country
and democracy. He graduated from Central
High School, Ursinus College and Thomas
Jefferson Medical College. He served pa-
tients for over 67 years. He was an incred-
ible wealth of information, was charming and
friendly, could be funny and silly, and really
lived life to the fullest. He knew who he was,
never wanted to be anyone else, was confid-
ent but not at all arrogant or cocky. He had a
wonderful life filled with love, meaning, joy,
fun and passion! He will be missed by many
relatives, friends, professional colleagues,
neighbors at Rydal Park, caregiver compan-
ions, and most of all his family. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital or a charity of
your choice.

Sylvia Heisman (nee: Polsky) Nov. 28, 2020.

Throughout her life, Sylvia expressed a deep
appreciation for her mother-Bess and her
father-Tom. She acknowledged a closeness
to her sister Beatrice and brother Martin and
adored her 5 Aunts and 2 Uncles and was al-
ways grateful for a warm and loving child-
hood. She graduated Atlantic City High in
1938 with academic and athletic honors. She
was then accepted into, and graduated from,
the highly regarded American Academy for
Dramatic Art in New York City. Sylvia met her
husband, Marvin and married in January of
1943. For 56 years, they shared a union of
devotion, romance and adventure. As a moth-
er of three daughters, she always considered
herself a “happy housewife.” Though when
Marvin realized a need for a career change,
her life underwent a grand and unexpected
change. With an astute business acumen and
innate sense of aesthetics, she rose to the
occasion, and on her own, opened the “Fine
Arts Gallery of Ardmore.” The Gallery brought
with it a busy lifestyle change that offered op-
portunity for growth and travel which she ad-
apted to with pleasure. Though Sylvia’s true
passion remained her dedication to friends
and family. She was a talented cook and a
warm and fun loving hostess. She created
many celebratory dinner parties recognizing
the Jewish Holidays and life events that made
everyone there feel valued. Sylvia loved to
sing and dance. She had a flair for beauty and
a great sense of style. She was a voracious
reader and stayed well informed about world
events. She played tennis and golf and was
hard to beat at Scrabble and Boggle. Sylvia
was a woman who was greatly respected by
all who knew her. She had an unsurpassed
sense of kindness and generosity. Within her
family, she often sought after wisdom which
earned her the nick- name “Rabbi.” Sylvia
faced life’s challenges with courage and
gusto. Ongoing, she reached out to others
and wanting the best for them and she ac-
complished just that. She made the lives of
all of us who had the privilege of knowing her
better and sweeter. She will be dearly
missed. Sylvia is survived by her daughters
Michele Colucci, Nancy Somers and Betsy
Tinkham. She is also survived by 5 grandchil-
dren and 2 great-grandchildren.
