Trudy Pomerantz

1926 - 2022

Trudy Pomerantz, of Lenox, MA, formerly of West Hartford, CT, passed away on April 8, 2022 at Kimball Farms Nursing Care Center. Trudy was born to Henrietta and Irving Hurwitz on March 26, 1926 in Hartford, CT. and moved to Brooklyn, NY. She briefly attended NYU before meeting the love of her life, Paul Pomerantz, on a trip to Hartford to visit family. They married on March 14, 1948 and made their home in West Hartford where they raised two daughters, Leesa and Deborah. Throughout her early married years, she enjoyed her performances in community musical theater and was active in the Sisterhood of Beth David Synagogue. She loved singing and dancing and continued to do so throughout her life. After 62 years of marriage, Paul passed away in 2010 and she eventually moved to Kimball Farms Independent Living in 2016 to be near her daughter. Trudy became a well recognized resident, due to her bright smile, pleasant demeanor and trademark full head of white hair that everyone commented on with envy. She began painting while a resident and it was quickly obvious she had talent in this area. She will always be remembered by her works of art displayed in her children's and grandchildren's homes. Known to them as "Goggy", (a name her first grandchild gave her), she celebrated all of their academic, athletic and theatrical achievements throughout the years with an enormous amount of pride and happiness. She adored and will be missed by her children, Leesa and husband Robert Sonnichsen of Madison, CT, and Deborah and husband Jay Kain of West Stockbridge, MA, as well as by each of her grandchildren: Tyler and partner Lisa LaDuca, Brittany and husband Hooman Adamous, Alex and partner Marissa Sipos, Jennifer and husband Charles Kilgore and Caroline and husband Sean Schooley. She was so blessed to have known two great-grandchildren, Ella and Mia Adamous. There will be a private graveside service for family only. The family wishes to send an especial thank you to the nurses and staff at Kimball Farms Nursing Care Center and Hospice of the Berkshires for their exceptional care and compassion.
