NATALIE FORMAN Obituary

FORMAN--Natalie,

89 years old, passed peacefully at Sarasota Hospice on June 17 shortly after a sudden medical emergency. She was the beloved wife of the late Manuel Forman, cherished mother of Erica, Jon and Dan, adored grandmother of Andrew, Doug, Rachel, Rebecca, Robin and Sarah, devoted sister, treasured mother-in-law, dear aunt and cousin of many, and closely attached to numerous friends in her Long Island, Berkshire and Sarasota communities. She was caring, kind and nurturing, an engaged and vital educator all her life. She took much pleasure in using FaceTime to connect with grandkids around the world and keeping her Yiddish roots alive. Her dynamic intellect was expansive and she was a mentor to many. We miss her very much. Contributions in Natalie's memory may be made to the Yiddish Book Center, 1021 West Street, Amherst, MA 01002.
