Publish in a newspaper
Patricia Popolow, 81, passed away November 18, 2022 at home peacefully with the love of her life, husband Robert Popolow by her side. She was a loving mother to Scott (Amy) Lipsitz, Loren (Layne) Rigney, proud Nana to four grandchildren, Reese, Nolan, Ellie and Michael. Patricia was sister to Ronald (Carolyn) Judkoff and Aunt to Jennifer Judkoff. Patricia was blessed with a lifelong friendship with first cousins, William (Elaine) Solomon and Beth (Ronald) Birnbaum. She is predeceased by her parents Irving and Eleanor Judkoff.
Born March 8, 1941 in the Bronx, New York. Patricia's passion for the theater started at an early age. She attended the School of Performing Arts in Manhattan and even landed a small part to play a young girl in a Broadway show alongside Helen Hayes in the early 1950's. She went on to Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University) a prominent drama school in Pittsburgh, PA.
Following University, Patricia was an actor and operator at the White Barn Theater in Irwin, PA. She also taught English at the Wheeler School, a vocational school in the Pittsburgh area. Patricia started a new career as an executive recruiter at Alzed Enterprises where her success led to creating her own company, Pat Lipton & Associates (PLA) specializing in the recruitment of advertising and brand management talent for fortune 100 firms.
Throughout her life Patricia generously donated time and money to worthy causes and community organizations including; Dress for Success, Drama Works, Del Ray Playhouse, Brandeis, Wycliff Theater Club, The Pap Corps and more.
Patricia's love for the stage never ceased. In her 70's she pulled together some of her favorite scenes to create a one woman show that she performed at venues throughout South Florida.
Her dynamic personality and zest for life attracted friends from all over including the Wycliff community in Wellington, FL, Harbor Point in Mill Valley, CA and the infamous Lunch Bunch originating in Pittsburgh, PA.
Services will be held at Beth Israel Memorial Chapel in Boynton Beach on Tuesday, November 22, 2022 10:15am followed by final rest at Eternal Light Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Pap Corps (www.thepapcorps.com).
