OBITUARY

ELAINE GERSHON BEEBER 

Chesed, Hebrew for ‘benevolence’, was a defining characteristic of Elaine Beeber.  The Almighty is described as ‘absolute Chesed’, absolute loving-kindness.  Elaine Beeber was surely created Beitzelem Eloheim, ‘in the image of G-d'.   

Elaine Beeber was very much of the South, especially the American Jewish South.  She was born in Atlanta, Georgia and passed away there, at age 93.  She called her 67-year marriage to David “my wonderfully extended college education.”  They shared so much: Congregation Ahavath Achim; travel; hospitality; TCM movies; for many years, one revered spiritual leader, Rabbi Harry Epstein. 

Her parents, Sam and Jeanette Gershon, instilled in her a love of Judaism, Zionism, America, idealism, honesty in commerce, education, business acumen, the value of hard work, and an appreciation for others and the special importance of family.  She, in turn, passed these traits to the next generation.   

For so many of us, there will be one tender, missing telephone call these next few months. 

Elaine Beeber is survived by her children: Bruce (Linda), Shelly (Mark Chester), and Steve (Linda Schlossberg); eight grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.  Predeceased by husband David Beeber, siblings Elinor Smith, Herbert Gershon, Phyllis Arnold, and step-sibling Fanny Gershon Goldstein.
