Barbara Pofcher Obituary

Barbara Pofcher (Rudolph) of Newton, MA and West Brattleboro, VT, passed away on April 5, 2024. She was born January 12, 1924. For 59 years, she was the beloved wife of the late Harvey Pofcher. She was the loving mother of Steven, Eric (Wendy) and Amy (Enrique). She was also devoted to her seven grandchildren and was a dear sister to the late James Rudolph (Adrienne).

Barbara was an exceptional woman and, being 100 years old, was a role model for many of her younger friends. She graduated from Wellesley College in 1945, where she became an avid bridge card player. After college, she played bridge three times a week and she achieved Life Master status.

She was buried at the Roxbury Lodge Cemetery, Baker St., West Roxbury.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Fanny Pofcher-Golda Griefman Scholarship Fund at Hebrew Senior Life, 1200 Centre St., Boston, MA 02131.
