P E R E L M A N
Sylvia Perelman (nee Garrett) was born on
July 4, 1929, and died October 17, 2021. She
was the beloved wife of the late David; loving
mother to Don, Rich, and Caryn, and to their
spouses, Elise, Justine, and Ian; adoring
grandmother to Liz (Tanuj), James, Ben,
Sarah, Isabel, and Conor; and delighted great
grandmother to Nina. In addition, she was a
much-loved sister of Len Garrett and sister-
in-law of Judy Garrett, Helen and the late
Mike Goetz, and Victor Goetz, as well as a
loved and admired cousin and aunt to many
nieces and nephews. Sylvia and David met on
a group date at Longwood Gardens though
both were there with other people. They in-
stantly hit it off and were married in less than
a year. In her late 30’s, after having three
children, Sylvia completed a Masters in Eco-
nomics at the University of Pennsylvania.

She became a professor of Economics at
Bucks County Community College where she
was also an active member and leader of the
teachers’ union, leading the union through
two successful strikes. In retirement, she vo-
lunteered at the Women’s Center of Mont-
gomery County in Norristown, PA. Sylvia
worked on the Crisis Hotline, handling diffi-
cult and emotional calls with the same ten-
derness that she brought to all of her person-
al dealings. Later in life, Sylvia and David
moved to the Hill at Whitemarsh, where they
enjoyed making many new friends. Sylvia es-
pecially enjoyed not having to cook meals
every night and she frequently celebrated din-
ners with a glass (or two) of wine. Sylvia
loved to travel and did so extensively. She
went to Cuba with her brother in the 1950’s
and later traveled to many countries with her
husband, and then with children, grandchil-
dren, friends, and other family. If you wanted
to go somewhere, Sylvia was always game to
go along. One of her favorite places was Ix-
tapa, Mexico, where she went every January
for decades, meeting up with many of the
same people. Sylvia had many interests. She
loved reading and was a long-time member
of the Philadelphia Great Books Council and
an active book discussant into her 90s. She
enjoyed the opera, and frequently traveling to
New York with her friends for a day and night
of it. She was also an avid tennis player and
fan, often staying up late to watch the US
Open matches. Sylvia took great pride in all
of her grandkids and loved them all dearly.

One of her favorite pastimes was being with
them, whether shopping, getting manicures,
having dinner, or just taking a walk. One of
her greatest thrills was meeting her first great
grandchild, Nina Sylvia, who was born in Au-
gust 2021 and came to visit in October. Her
joy at seeing and holding Nina was unpar-
alleled. At her core, Sylvia was a kind and
deeply caring woman who took pleasure in
the company and happiness of her family and
many friends. Contributions in her memory
can be made to the Women’s Center of Mont-
gomery County, Pennsylvania. A memorial
service will be held in the spring.
