Obituary

Anna Gurvich, age 75, passed away at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford on September 11, 2014 following a long struggle with cancer. Anna was born in Vinnitsa, Ukraine. She was the daughter of Sophia and Meir Kaplun. She earned a MS degree in Volgograd, Russia and moved to Riga, Latvia, where she worked at Riga Polytechnic Institute and married Boris Gurvich. In 1977, Anna and Boris, with their son Alex, immigrated as political refugees to Chicago. In 1984 they moved to West Hartford, CT where Anna worked at Yale University for 28 years as a senior HVAC engineer. Anna was one of only a handful of women who obtained a Professional Engineer license in HVAC in Connecticut. Among the many things Anna loved in life were tennis, swimming, family and friends, who valued her optimism, energy and loyalty. Anna is survived by her husband, Boris Gurvich, brother Misha Kaplun, son Alex Gurvich, daughter in-law Jessica, and the love of her life, grandson Julien. A memorial service will be held on Sunday at Weinstein Mortuary, 640 Farmington Ave, West Hartford at 12.00 pm. The funeral will be held at Fairview Cemetery following the service.

I had the good fortune to work with Anna in the air conditioning industry. She was dedicated, intelligent and forceful - she knew when she was right, and told you so. A nice person - I'm glad she and her family came to this country, enriched it, and had the opportunity to live a full life.
