Born in Wilno, Poland in

During the time she was raising her family, she was a devoted full-time
 mom, serving as a Den Mother for her sons’ Cub Scout pack. After the children were grown, she joined her husband in the real estate business.

Predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Stanley Bressler, she is survived by her brother Bobby (Mary), her two sons, Richard Bressler
 (Mindi), of Atlanta, GA and Lee Bressler (Tamie) and four grandchildren.
