Tamar Sonnenschein of Chestnut Hill, was a warrior with the strength of lions who succumbed to Alzheimer’s cruelty on November 14. She battled valiantly for 8 years, defying nature, stumping the medical community and blessing her family with unexpected, repeated months of lucidity, joy and love. Our incredible matriarch leaves daughters Iris, Nurit and Orna, sons-in-law Eugene and Tim, and grandchildren and their partners Talia and Nate, Elan and Julie, Coby and Lauren, Avi and Megan and Nina, and great-granddaughter Aya. Tamar’s passing also leaves behind the absolute love of her life, her husband of 67 years, David. Her intelligence, spirit, guidance, love – and epic cookouts – will be deeply missed.
A funeral service will be held on Monday, November 18 at 1:30 pm at Temple Beth Avodah, 45 Puddingstone Lane, Newton. Interment to follow at Independent Pride of Boston, West Roxbury. Shiva will be announced at the service.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, https://www.alz.org/ or the Jewish National Fund, https://shop.jnf.org/collections/plant-trees
