Obituary: Rebecca Srochi Nirenblatt

Rebecca Srochi Nirenblatt passed away peacefully on Oct. 26, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Rebecca was born in Savannah, Ga., on June 29, 1938, to Dorothy and Nathan Marcus. She attended the University of Miami where she met her husband, Alan Srochi. After relocating to Atlanta, they raised four sons: Nathan (of blessed memory), Sam, Morris, and David. After Alan’s passing, Rebecca was blessed to start a new phase of life with her beloved, Norman Nirenblatt, and relocated first to Charleston, S.C., and then to Boca Raton, Fla.

Throughout her life, Rebecca assembled a wide circle of friends due to her sweet disposition, kindness, and unforgettable smile. She was a master bridge player, an avid ballerina, and a tireless volunteer for the Jewish community.  She loved collecting paperweights and never missed an opportunity to share photos of and brag about her precious grandchildren.

Above all, Rebecca’s greatest joy was her family.  She is survived by her husband, Norman Nirenblatt; her children, Samuel, Morris, and David (Allison); her stepchildren, Bradley (Cynthia) and Amy (Robert); and her devoted grandchildren, Alan, Sara, Jordan, Maddie, Lilly, and Ryan Srochi; Ellen and Daniel Nirenblatt, and Eric (Carli), Johnny, and Billy Lawrence, and former daughters-in-law, Dina Sack and Julie Srochi. Additional survivors include her brother, Joe (Diane) Marcus, brother-in-law, Norman Estroff; and sister-in-law, Marilyn Hoffman. In addition to her parents, Rebecca was preceded in death by her husband, Alan, and son, Nathan.

Special thanks from the Srochi family to The Sullivan House and Ennoble Hospice for the extraordinary care given to Rebecca in her last months of life.

Graveside services were held on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 10 a.m. at Greenwood Cemetery with Rabbi Joshua Heller officiating.
