Myrna Jastrow Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Platt Memorial Chapels, Inc. - Cherry Hill on Nov. 16, 2023.
Myrna Jastrow, of Cherry Hill, NJ died November 15, 2023. She is the wife of Gary Jastrow, the mother of David (Audrey) Jastrow and Howie Jastrow, the grandmother of Faith and Jessica and the sister of Dr. Arnold Solomon. Myrna loved animals and nature. Myrna lived a life surrounded by her family and friendships that lasted for decades. She was kind, loyal, and selfless, caring deeply about every single person she encountered. Myrna was a loving wife to her husband for nearly 53 years. She was a devoted teacher, an adoring grandmother, a loving sister, a considerate mother-in-law, a wonderful aunt, and the best mom and friend to two sons they could ever hope to have. She was generous in mind and spirit, had a quirky sense of humor, and her capacity for love and friendship was infinite. She adored animals, especially dogs, travel, cooking, reading, and finding the perfect restaurant.
Her love and kindness sparked joy and warmth for every person fortunate enough to know her.

In loving memory of my friend Myrna. Her gentle spirit was truly remarkable. In the 45 years of our friendship, I never heard her utter a single negative word about anything or anyone. And then there was her boundless love for dogs. I especially reflect on the cherished moments we shared during our seven-year journey exploring contemporary art galleries and attending enlightening lectures in New York City. Our mutual passion for art extended beyond our personal pursuits as we dedicated ourselves to teaching the wonders of creativity to young children through the Art Goes To School program in Cherry Hill. I will miss our discussions of contemporary artists, the reactions of our young students to abstract art, and the simple pleasure of her company. But I find comfort in the fact for having known Myrna, and I am thankful for the good and fun times we had together.
