Sarah Spear

Sarah “Sharon” Spear, nee Dorfenkel, passed peacefully in Santa Barbara, CA on Dec. 1, 2018. Born in Chicago to Max and Pearl Dorfenkel on Nov. 7, 1928, she was a graduate of Marshall High School. Sharon’s greatest joy was entertaining family and friends, cooking and baking up a storm. The consummate homemaker and “Jewish mother,” she was devoted to her children, parents and extended family. Sharon is predeceased by her husband of 69 years, Melvin Spear, and survived by her children and grandchildren: Michelle (Jeff), Max and Raisa Bruner, and Lauren (Jack), Danae and Marni Greenfield. Our memories of Sharon will be in our hearts forever.
