Sommerfeld
Joyce Adrienne (Auerbach) of Wynnewood passed away peacefully on August 6, 2025. She was the daughter of the late Louis and Manya (Cogan) Auerbach of Bronx, NY. She is survived by her two daughters, Elyse (Michael) Schatz and Raquel (Robert) Schaffer, and four loving grandchildren Leah, David, Jennifer and Josh. Joyce was a graduate of Hunter College and earned a Master’s degree as a reading specialist from Temple University. Joyce later worked as an admissions counselor for many years at the University of the Arts prior to her retirement.
