Pearl Greenberg

We shared many good times & dinners with Pearl & Murray here in upstate NY at our farm & later too. We will never forget either of them & how they embodied intellectual & worldliness with incredible warmth. We are sorry to have not kept in touch with Pearl after the last day she was at our house with Ken after Murray's passing near their place on the water in upstate. We are very happy to know she spent another peaceful 10 years living near her son in California. We miss them both with...

Probably the best teacher/professorI have ever had .....and a truly beautiful human being. She inspired me in so many ways. I loved her

Pearl Greenberg was my art teacher at Downtown Community School for 8 years. She was a wonderful innovative teacher. She very creatively tied our art classes to our academic curriculums and we were able to experience a range of art forms. This wasn't done in most elementary school art classes in the 1950's. Pearl also helped me create my entrance portfolio for the High School of Music and Art. Pearl Greenberg helped to shape and mold what elementary school art classes were to become. 20...

I called her "Pearlie-May" as an affectionate endearment. I've never a more beautiful person. I was her student, and thought of her as a friend. Both she and Murray were so special. I came to know Pearl when I returned to college at age 42. She would joke that it took 28 years for me to complete my education, since I had begun in 1960, with one year of college before marriage and five children. She guided me through three years at Kean, and was instrumental in seeing me graduate , Summa Cum...

Thanks to all of you who posted such vivid and personal memories of my mother. In many ways it helps me understand who she was, and it makes me proud to know that people valued her as a mentor and a friend. I wish I could have shared these memories with her.
Again, thank you all.

Pearl was a colleague at Kean University and a good friend. We cooperated in student teaching assignments for prospective art teachers My husband Hyman and I studied weaving with Pearl. Our final class assignment was to photograph weaving samples in our travel trip to Israel. We came home with photos and souvenir samples In an album we created and cherish. We also learned from Pearl the intricate process of setting up looms for different types of weaving.

So sorry to hear about Pearl but glad to know she spent her last years with Ken and wife. We taught together for many years at Kean and shared many interests, especially since I spent my first years teaching as a public school art teacher (before becoming a degree holding art historian.) Together with Carol Cade I enjoyed visiting their beloved get-away cabin on the Delaware River. And Pearl confessed to being addicted to coats, especially beautifully designed ones. When I think of her it is...

Dr. Pearl Greenberg was a lifelong mentor to me! She guided my art education skillset and was instrumental in assisting me to become a successful art educator. Pearl remained a lifelong contact and I will miss her forever. I am eternally grateful to her for her kindness, support and steadfast encouragement. Dr. Paula (Pelak) Valenti
