Obituary: Bernice Luxenberg

Bernice Luxenberg, 88, of Marietta, Ga., passed away April 13, 2021. She was an avid baker (her cheesecake recipe lives on) and knitter. She never missed a chance to knit a gift of a baby sweater for every new baby.

Bernice is predeceased by her parents Toby and Irving Taylor, and brother Joel Taylor. She is survived by her loving husband of 69 years Isidore “Ike” and their four daughters: Hope (Craig) Kaufman of Atlanta, Diane (Mark) Lurie of Ocala, Fla., Lynn Westfall of Evergreen, Colo., and Gail Luxenberg of Chicago, Ill. In addition, Bernice is survived by seven grandchildren, whom she loved more than anything: Max and Drew Kaufman, David Lurie, Adam and Allie Westfall, and Lainie and Matthew Cassel.

Memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice. A private funeral for the family was held April 16 at Arlington Cemetery with Rabbi Ron Segal officiating. Arrangements by Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care, 770-451-4999. Sign the online guestbook at www.dresslerjewishfunerals.com.
