Gladys Perlstein Obituary

PERLSTEIN, GLADYS, of Sunny Isles Beach, passed away peacefully on April 25, 2007. Born in Brooklyn, NY on April 4, 1927, she was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, in 1993. Gladys was a most caring and considerate person filled with love, who took great pride in her three sons and their wives; Billy and Sherrie Perlstein, Larry Perlstein and Kris Krail, Michael Perlstein and Jennifer Hogan, and her four grandchildren; Justin, Jonathan, Adam and Ana. She enjoyed her extended vacations to San Francisco and New York. She was a Winston Towers resident for 32 years and former employee of Saks Fifth Avenue in Bal Harbour. Gladys loved her views of her ocean, a good mystery novel and was a film buff. Most of all, her friendly smile and lively spirit were a joy to everyone she met. A celebration of life honoring Grandma Gladys will be held with immediate family in June. She will be missed by all who knew her. Donations can be made to the Miami Jewish Home for the Aged.

To The Perlstein Family [especially the grandchildren]: One never gets to spend enough time with a grandparent. From one of the Cole Drive group who knew her before memory over fifty years ago she will be very much missed and in our hearts forever. Billy, Larry and Michael may you be comforted by the love being generated by all who knew her.

Dear Billy,Michael&Larry, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Gladys. She was a caring,loving and generous Lady who sometimes referred to me as a forth son. When she visited in Ca at Billy &Sherries house during the holidays,I was able to enjoy her stories. We had many great movie nights also. I really will miss her on my future visits. All my best wishes to all the family at this time. Yours,Stephen B. Eipper

Billy, Michael & Larry,
Diane & I send our best wishes to all of you and your families. Gladys's passing is like loosing my Mom all over again. The Cole Drive kids grew up in her house, swam laps in her round pool, kissed girls for the first time in her den, and ate tuna sandwiches at her table. We argued who was better, Mickey or Willie... don't think she really cared about that one. I will miss her, but my memories will always be warm and close at heart.

Love to all,

Cliff

Grandma Gladys had a heart like no one I have ever known, with a strong compassion for everyone she came across, her heart must have been made of pure gold and goodness. She taught me to care for others with an expectation of nothing in return, and too soon forgive those that have done wrong to me. She taught me the importance of family and the importance of expressing your love to each of its members. She showed me how to be a genuine person in life and I look up to her with respect, praise, and admiration as she will forever be in all of our hearts and minds. When thinking about how she lived I can only be reminded of her brilliant smiles and contagious laughing, both of which could light up the world. I love you forever Grandma and thank you for my beautiful family and the gift of life.

Dear Billy

I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was always very kind to me, from the earliest days of our friendship in the 10th grade, through our visit to her and your family at her Florida home just a few years back. She was a wonderful woman and a dedicated mother. Please extend my sympathies to Sherrie, your brothers and your sons.

My thoughts are with you
David

I have known Gladys’ son Michael for over 20 years. I had the pleasure of meeting Gladys and the rest of the Perlsteins on a few occasions at family gatherings. It is clear she was full of love for her family and was very proud of 3 great sons and their families. My sincerest wishes go out to all the Pearlsteins. We know she is in a better place and her spirit will always be with the family.

Aunt Gladys was a warm and caring individual. Her love for her boys barred none. Always talking it up about her boys, their wives, as well as their kids, Aunt Gladys was a very proud mom and grandmother. I remember growing up and visiting in East Meadow, Aunt Gladys always made us feel at home. Whenever we visited in Florida, she always saw our kids and treated them like royalty. Although her physical presence will always be missed, what we have in our heart and memories will last forever.
