Michelle Feins Obituary
MICHELLE FEINS
On August 11, 2019, at home--just as she wished, surrounded by her husband of almost 65 years and children.
Beloved daughter of Jerome and Betty Sinsheimer and favorite sister of Warren (Flo) Sinsheimer.
Mickey was raised in New Rochelle, NY and attended Emma Willard School and Connecticut College. She was a speech pathologist and audiologist who initially taught at Seton Hall University and subsequently practiced in the public schools.
A masterful and tireless planner, Mickey dried her sink, fed chipmunks from her hand, owned a pick up truck for no good reason, paid the tolls of cars behind her (before EZPass and SunPass), went falconing, kept her air conditioning on overdrive, picked wild blueberries, sent the best care packages to camp and college, and was the first woman Rotary president in New London, NH. She was a regular at MacKenna's Restaurant, hosted campers and counselors on their days off, played the flute in community bands, collected antiques, brought in her elderly neighbor's newspapers, enjoyed Grunings chocolate chip ice cream, sang silly family songs in harmony, made German chocolate birthday cakes, paid $1 for the 5 cent pillows at the New London Barn Playhouse, had a soft heart for eclectic folks, maintained lifelong friendships with her college roommates, looked forward to daily phone calls from her brother, and made everyone she was with feel loved and appreciated. Always.
Mickey is survived by her husband, Martin, children Jeffrey (Lynda) Feins, Nancy (Dale) Adler, Jon (Amy) Feins; grandchildren Ben (Nicole) Feins, Elyssa (Mike) Nadler, Casey Feins, Elizabeth (fiance Alex Hinton), Anna, Oliver and Adam Feins, Daniel (Michele) Adler, Jonathan and Emily Adler; four-and-a-half great-grandchildren and her favorite "governess" Margaret.
In lieu of flowers please perform an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for a stranger or a friend.

Condolences to Marty and family. Mickey could always light up whatever space she walked through. It was always a joy to see her in the store.

The obituary is a wonderful tribute. Many thoughts come to mind from reading it such as....unique, eclectic, generous, talented, fun, good, and meaningful. I only knew Mrs. Feins this last year; I missed a lot. Please accept my sincere sympathy on Michelle's death.

Our love and prayers go out to the Feins' family. Mickey was the most remarkable women, she was such a great friend and sister in Christ. She was the most loving and supportive friend to our whole family. She got me my first job in NH as her speech/language assistant, and patiently taught me each and every day. She provided work for all our children, Scott, Robin, Troy and especially Noel. Each and everyone loved her and we can still hear her infectious laugh today. We cried and prayed together many times and shared heartfelt love for one another. We look forward to being with her in Glory for all eternity. Pat and Erv Proverbs 31:10-31

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mickey, but am comforted knowing her struggles are over. I giggled when I read that she dried her sink, as that came to my mind almost immediately. I dry my sink now too, after meeting her so many years ago. She was a firecracker with a heart of gold. I can still see her sitting Indian style on the floor with the Feins kids, singing silly songs. Peace and comfort prayers for her family and all who will miss her.

Mickey was so willing to throw herself 100% into whatever she was doing, be it riding an elephant or hosting an elegant dinner party. We will miss her terribly!

Mickey is a person that you always loved seeing at MacKenna's. She always had a kind word and helped many people in our Kearsarge community. Mickey was a customer that Tracey and I missed when we closed the restaurant. (Martin and the entire Feins family also) She was always quick to introduce her grandchildren and children to us as she was very proud of them all. Our condolences to the Feins family.

Sending love and prayers to the Feins family. I will always remember Mickeys smile and kind demeanor. She was fun! She would come the minute we called from camp to say one of her grands was sick or needed something. She was always so supportive and it was so apparent how much she loved her family! God speed Mickey.
