OBITUARY:
Our beloved mother, Joan Bergman Rosenfeld, died peacefully in her sleep on February 6, 2025 at the age of 88 in Atlanta, Georgia where she originally raised her family.  Joan was born in Jacksonville, FL. After her father passed away, she and her mother moved to Atlanta. She graduated from Druid Hills High School in 1954.  She continued her formal education at Massey College of Business in Atlanta, Georgia.

Joan was known for her Southern hospitality, community service, delicious Shabbos meals, and her famous mandel bread. However, what she will most be remembered for is her devotion to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was an active member of the Beth Jacob Sisterhood from 1969-1991, and was the advisor for NCSY youth group. After raising her children, Joan bravely jumped into the workforce as an office manager and medical insurance coordinator in both Atlanta, Boca Raton, FL and later in Indianapolis where she lived for the last 30 years.  When Joan retired from work, she became a full-time Bubbe for her local grand kids. She also travelled often to see those that lived in both Sharon, MA & Atlanta.  She enjoyed cheering for her Indianapolis Colts & Indiana Pacers or watching HGTV, participating in her bookclub, and taking exercise swim classes at the JCC.  Joan was known for her warmth, laughter and kindness. She was happiest when talking to people or even a stranger who quickly became captivated by her laughter and ease of conversation.  She will be dearly missed by all her family, as well as Queen Hall from Indianapolis who was a devoted friend and caretaker for over a decade.  Joan is predeceased by her parents, Esther and Sam Bergman, brother Dr. Burton Bergman, sister Caroline “Cay” Bergman Barris, and former husband Robert “Bobby” Rosenfeld.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Joan’s memory to Ahavath Achim Synagogue Sisterhood, Beth Jacob Sisterhood, or the Leket Israel the National Food Bank of Israel. Arrangements by Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care.
