Obituary:

Sharon L. Polstein Cohen nee Halperin, age 96

Beloved wife of the late Leon Polstein and the late Jack Cohen. Dear mother of Rabbi Yosef (Bracha) Polstein, Jay (Claire Rudnick) Polstein, and the late Stephen (Sheila) Polstein. Proud grandmother and great-grandmother. Fond sister of Frederick (Renie) Halperin.

Sharon was born in Savannah, Georgia, on July 5, 1929. She will always be remembered as a southern belle; she loved traveling, shopping, and enjoyed her close-knit circle of friends in Atlanta. She moved to Chicago ten years ago and was a beloved member of the Park Plaza community. Sharon had a special charm and will be missed by all those who knew her.
