Gloria Cherry Obituary
Park Ridge - Gloria Barry Cherry, 86, passed away peacefully in her home on Friday June 4, 2021.
She was an example to all who knew her - of elegance, intelligence and determination. A role model, she attended Barnard College and Columbia Law School ( LLB, '58) during an era when few women pursued law degrees. A steadfast advocate for women's rights, she was active in local politics, the Board of Education, and the League of Women Voters. While she maintained a full career as a practicing trial attorney, family remained her priority. She raised four daughters, hosted warm holiday gatherings and maintained a beautiful home filled with family photographs including of her eight grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Jules Lazar. She will always be remembered and loved by her daughters Sabrina, Dana, Pamela, and Cara, her stepson Ben, sons-in-law Marc, Paul, Mike and Jonathan, and grandchildren Rebecca, Ruth, William, Sarah, Hannah, Isabela, Julian, and Anya.

Sending our condolences to the family. A contemporary of our parents, Gloria was sort of the ‘RBG of Tenafly’ in a way — a revered, strong and well-respected leader in the community. We so appreciate all that she did for the town— and that she & Jules sold her beloved house to us 20 years ago! When we catch up with old friends from Tenafly and they ask us where we now live—we always respond by saying “The Cherry House.” May she Rest In Peace. We will remember her fondly.
