Obituary

Shirley Ruth Hoffman (nee Levine) of Northbrook IL, passed away on October 17, 2020. Shirley and her late twin sister, Estelle Richter were born in Brooklyn NY on October 20, 1926. She is survived by her children Irene, Mark (Jackie) and Robin (Julio Martinez). She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Harold, and her late husband Irving Pogofsky. As a lifetime member of Hadassah and Hias, she had unlimited compassion for those less fortunate and in need. A passionate supporter of Israel, Jewish causes, and human rights for all, she was an active member of Beth Shalom Congregation and a founding member of the former Northwest Suburban Jewish Congregation in Morton Grove. She was loved for her caring, warmth and interest in others, and was quickly considered a friend by those who just met her. Her dry humor and feistiness will be missed by all. Private service and shiva. Interment Shalom Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hadassah https://www.hadassah.org or the Jewish National Fund www.jnf.org http://www.jnf.org.
