My mother Marian S. Garfinkel died on August 28th, 2020.

Funeral

Due to the pandemic, we were only able to have a small graveside service. That ceremony took place at 11:00am on August 30th, 2020, at the Roosevelt Memorial Park. It was performed by Rabbi Jeff Schnitzer.

You can read the eulogy here.

Online Tribute

I have set up a FlipGrid website has been set up where people can post 2-minute videos. The website can use the camera built in to your phone or laptop if you allow it. It works best with Google Chrome.

August 2021 Memorial Service

I am planning to have a memorial service for the unveiling of my mother's head stone on August 29th, 2021. This will be a time for many of my mother's friends to get together and properly note her passing. The service will provide my mother's friends a chance to make statements about my mother's life and work. My mother's favorite foods and deserts will be provided.

The service with a light meal will be at 4345 Orchard St. Philly PA 19124, the event space operated by Balboa Catering.
