Obituary

Gladys Pinsker Feigenbaum, 90, of New Britain, CT passed away peacefully on October 30th in New Britain surrounded by her family. Gladys is survived by the love of her life and perfect lifelong companion, Fenmore, to whom she was married for nearly 70 years. Born in Wallingford, Gladys was the oldest child of the late Joseph and Eva Pinsker, and is survived by her brother Clive (Marge) and her sister Joyce. Our matriarch, Gladys, is survived by her children: Seth and Betty Feigenbaum of Farmington, Ira and Deborah Feigenbaum of West Hartford, and Sara and David Miller of Bedford, MA. She is also survived by ten cherished grandchildren, their spouses, and two great-granddaughters, who she cared for and loved deeply: Tamar Levine (Jason, Orli), Dana Jackson (Kyle, Taytum), Talia Miller, Miriam Baruch (Mark), Max Feigenbaum, Kayla Miller, Asher Feigenbaum, Rafi Feigenbaum, Avi Miller, and Maya Feigenbaum. Gladys was predeceased by her son, Daniel. Gladys loved nothing more than her family, and was famous for her 4th of July parties at Old Colony Beach, glamorous outfits, and jewelry. Gladys had the most generous, loving and giving heart, and was constantly doing for others and thinking about her family and her community. She was passionate about giving back through her involvement in Hadassah, League of Women Voters, B’nai B’rith Jewish Women International, and the Sisterhood at Congregation Tephereth Israel. Gladys loved to travel with her family on cruises, and enjoyed exploring the world with Fenmore. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Fenmore and Gladys Feigenbaum Family Jewish Community Foundation fund (333 Bloomfield Ave, West Hartford) or Hadassah. A graveside service for family will be held on Sunday, November 1st with an accompanying Zoom for friends and loved ones. Shiva will follow via Zoom. May her memory be a blessing and a source of strength.

Seth and Betty and Family.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother/mother-in-law/grandmother. She was a beautiful women who certainly did not look her age and the jewelry and outfit comment in the obituary made me think of my own grandma Tootsie who loved her flashy jewels and outfits! God bless you and grant you peace as you all mourn this loss. Sincerely, Jena Barretta

Dear Fenmore and Family,

Wai and I are deeply saddened to hear of Gladys' passing. She was a very lovely and friendly and positive person and always had a kind word for all. As a member of the New Britain Y's Tai Chi class, she would faithfully come to all classes no matter her recent physical problems. She loved to travel and had loads of memorabilia and pictures of her jaunts with Fenmore and children and grandchildren. Please accept our sympathies for her passing. Dan and Wai Price
