Sarah Koocher Feldman, 98, passed away on December 11. Born in Boston , MA to Samuel and Rose Fineman Koocher, Sarah was a graduate of Brighton High School, and Burdette Business College. Upon graduation she worked for insurance companies where she was highly sought after.
The post war scarcity of automobiles led to a chance family introduction of Bill Feldman to Sarah at a Syracuse Jewish War Veterans picnic. They were happily married for 56 years. Sarah was also an active participant in the family business, Phil Feldman & Sons.
Sarah was a gifted pianist, taking lessons from a Boston Conservatory instructor, and in recognition of her talent became a piano teacher as well. She was an avid reader, and was extremely accomplished in knitting, crochet and needlepoint; especially in the bargello style. She always had a book, or needles in her hands. She was a wonderful mother, and a lovely, sweet person. She raised her daughters to be respectful and kind.
Sarah will be forever remembered for her love, joy, and devotion to her family, and especially the delicious holiday meals she lovingly created.
Sarah was pre-deceased by her husband William, and her brother Abraham Koocher.
Her family includes her two daughters and sons-in-law, Anne and Marvin Mondlick of Scottsdale, AZ; and Ilene and Dr. Herb Mendel of Fayetteville; three grandchildren, Dr. Josh and Leah Mondlick, of Phoenix, AZ, Dr. Marisa and Josh Abraham, of Boston, MA, and Jordan Mendel and Julia Gabel Mendel of NYC; and great-grandchildren Abraham, Wesley, Zane, Alessandra, and Halle.
Graveside services for the immediate family will be in Adath Yeshurun Cemetery. Donations in Sarah’s memory may be made to Temple Adath Yeshurun.
