Pearl Gluck Nathan

A wonderful teacher. I was her student at BHS. She crosses my mind frequently. Always looked forward to her class.

Well, I am another year older...now, almost 72...and I knew Mrs. Nathan when I was a mere 14 yr old....so, to re-read about her exemplary life makes me smile and think, "Wow! What an incredible life!" I never could imagine myself at 60, never mind 72, and now, I realize that there is still the potential of achieving milestones in the next few decades. She continues to be a role model.

Dear Joan,
Both your parents were part of the fabric of my early years in Providence. And whenever I had the pleasure of your mother's company, the last being two years ago, my heart would glow with the warmth of spirit she always emanated. Love to you, your brothers and all the extended members of your family. -Ahvi Spindell, NYC

Dear Joan --We will always cherish our memories of your splendid mother-It was a precious gift to know her -- To you and all who share your sorrow we send our deepest sympathy and love - Joy & Carl

What a wonderful life. Both your parents were there for me during a difficult time. I will never forget them. So many memories...she was the last of my mother's contemporaries.
Much love.

A fabulous woman who raised a wonderful son

I watched her daughter's show Jewish Cooking in America back in the '90s, and I consider her lucky to have such a wonderful mother!

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Nathan family. I have fond memories of her and Ernest while growing up. Barry and Ellen Shepard.

Mrs. Nathan was my neighbor on Freeman Parkway when I was growing up on the East Side. I went to high school with her son Richard. Later, as an adult, I would see her at Trinity Rep, always so gracious, elegant and classy. She always greeted me with a warm smile. My condolences to her wonderful family.

Mrs.Nathan was one of my favorite teachers at Barrington HS in the '70's. She inspired her students to read, discuss books and encouraged free thought. I will never forget her and always think of her when I'm with a good book. My sympathy to her family. A phenomenal woman who will be greatly missed.

I fondly remember Mrs. Nathan. I have known her for about 50 years and as such have many, many years of memories of her. Please accept my sincere condolences to all members of her family.

To the Nathan family,
So sorry for your loss.I only knew Mom from her reputation.I always knew she was special.her children made her proud.My deepest sympathy is extented to you,the children and grandchildren.She will be missed.Barbara Amber Schwartz

Pearl was a true gift to humanity and a special friend to all who knew her. Always greeting me with a smile, asking how I am, and how is my sister Jackie before her death and my family. My memories of Pearl (and Nathan) go back to high school when I have the good fortune to pick up Joan for a date. Growing up in Providence and choosing to return to the area has allowed my a special dividend in knowing Pearl, Joan and Alan for so many years. What an exemplary life.
