ADELE BERK Obituary

BERK--Adele. With love and deep sadness, we share the passing of Adele Ribolow Berk on September 8, 2022. In her last days, she was surrounded by many who loved her, children, grandchildren, and friends. She was 90 years old and lived life to the fullest. As a female entrepreneur, she was a pioneer for her time. The past seventy years of her life were dedicated to building and growing her own successful employment agency -- Ribolow & Associates. She was a consummate New Yorker. She loved her family and friends. Adele had her finger on the pulse of New York. She frequented every museum, park, theatre, and cultural institution. Adele was born in Brooklyn in 1932 and graduated from Brooklyn College and received a master's degree in Psychology from City College. Her humor and warmth were legendary. She will be missed by all.

Dear Marnie and Shira and family, As we approach Adele's yarzeit, my thoughts go the many years of friendship and life adventures we shared from 1967 onward. She leaves a sweet fragrance of her love for life and most of all her kindness and understanding. May her memory be as beautiful as her lovely smile.

Dear Shira and Marni,
I remember Adele from Lake Waubeeka. We, Ed and I, bought the house directly across the road from her house. We played doubles in Tennis a lot, laughed a lot and talked a lot. She was a vital person

May her memory be for a blessing
