Kaye (Jonathan) and Ross Gold-

lantic City Boardwalk. They married

the cold Wisconsin winters for 5
years while David earned his Doc-

He began his career with Western

part of his career focusing on pig-
ments for fine art reproductions. His
hobbies ranged from kite flying and
model rocketry to world travel, tri-

and his grandgirls. David played
piano beautifully for friends, family,

ther and loving and attentive grand-

JOSEPH LEVINE AND SONS
www.levinefuneral.com SHRAGER
SHIPON Judith Marsha (Feinstein) Shipon
of Bala Cynwyd (formally of Voor-
hees, NJ) passed away peacefully
on Sunday, June 19 with her be-
loved daughters at her side. Judi
was born to Edythe and Frank
Feinstein on October 27, 1946 in
Philadelphia, Pa. After graduating
from Germantown High School
she entered the medical field and
became an x-ray technician. She
left that career after a few years to
take on what she said was the most
important job of her life — raising
her two daughters. She could be
found many days chauffeuring her
girls to tennis lessons, gym classes
and school events. She was a ge-
nius at planning parties and social
events, with each event designed
to honor the guest and make every-
one feel important. She would talk
or text daily with her daughters and
was their active champion through-
out their years of school. She was
extraordinarily proud that her ‘girls’
grew to become mature, strong,
professional, independent women.

She showered that same devotion
and love on her two grandchildren.

Judi had many interests and you
could always count on her to do
and say the unexpected. Her love
of books, current events and mov-
ies never left her at a loss for words
or an opinion on the topic of the day.

She is survived by her two daugh-
ters, Dr. Samara Shipon (Matthew
Radford) and Dr. Courtney Shipon
(Artur Gagol); two grandchildren,
Lily Gagol and Andrew Gagol; two
grand-dogs, Sparky and Orchid;
and her brother, Laurence Fein-
stein and sister-in-law (although
more like a sister), Patti Feinstein.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made in Judi’s memory to NOW.org
(National Organization for Women)
or to the charity of your choice.

Temple Beth Am in Abington, PA,
where she met her husband of 18
years, Ira Tishk, who now lives in
Henderson, Nevada. Brenda loved
cats, dogs, theater, dancing, puz-
zles, and reading novels. But most
of all, Brenda loved her three sons.

She was very proud of her boys,
as well as her ten incredible and
talented grandchildren. Brenda
is survived by her sister, Davida
