Obituary

Sheila (Schechtman) Weinberg, 80 years of age, of West Hartford, CT, died Thursday, January 1, 2015. She was the widow of Jack Lewis Weinberg. As newborns, Sheila and her future husband Jack were in the Hartford Hospital maternity ward at the same time, (as The Blizzard of ’34 raged outside).

Weinberg of Aventura, FL, and Neal J. Weinberg and wife Nurit of Greenwich, CT; and her daughter, Debra Harvey of Potomac, MD and Boca Raton, FL; a doting grandmother to her ten grandchildren and great granddaughter; close sibling to Reba Maisel and husband Louis of Harvard MA and her brother, Jonathan Schechtman and wife Karin of Quechee, VT.

No matter where I may have been in my life - Sheila Weinberg always found a way to connect with me, to send me her love, and her best wishes. It amazed me each time I heard her voice when she called or when I received a little note from her in the mail. Thoughtful and kind, she kept me on her radar and in her heart. Thirty years have passed since our first meeting . . . but I remember it like yesterday. My hope is that her soul is reunited with her love Jack, as I believe they are might to be together forever and through eternity. To the family -- I send my condolences and hope that you find comfort in the memories and love that you shared with Sheila. B'shalom, Devorah

I was so saddened to hear that Sheila passed away. I called her in October to tell her I moved but she was unable to talk at that time.

Alan and I have wonderful memories of Jack and Sheila in our youngeryears attending celebrations for friends anniversaries and birthdays. As a realtor she sold our sons condo, our home in Orange, and helped us buy our condo in Stratford. We will always remember her as a loyal friend who always remembered sending cards for special occasions.

Our sincerest sympathy goes out to Debbie, Neil, and Howard on your loss.

Love, Joan and Alan Gelbert

I cannot believe that Sheila is gone. It seems like yesterday that we were celebrating her 80th birthday party. Sheila was a beautiful woman and a kind and loving person. She was a true daughter of Sylvia and Charlie....she always did the right and decent thing. She will be sorely misssed.
