Elaine Gregerman

Elaine Gregerman, died Monday, January 29, 2024, in Plantation, Florida.

Those of us who loved Elaine Gregerman struggle to accept her loss. She was a genuinely kind and caring woman who reached out to family, friends, and even strangers when she felt their need. Even as her health declined, Elaine was always looking to soothe others.

A graduate of Brookline High School class of 1960, Elaine met and married Arthur Gregerman. They had one son, Adam, whom they adored, and they eventually settled in Hollywood, Florida. Elaine was a woman with a flare for decorating and a great sense of style, and so it is no surprise that she had much success working for Rooms to Go, a well-known furniture store. With her gregarious personality, she was often the top salesperson and was beloved by fellow employees and customers (many who became friends).

She was friendly and outgoing, and many were charmed by her magnetic personality. She loved animals and admired every furry creature. In later years she volunteered at numerous animal shelters.

Her greatest love was for Adam, his wife Rahel, and their two children Ezra and Aviva. She enjoyed them and savored every moment spent with them. She was fortunate to get to be with them in Philadelphia and Florida, most recently at Aviva’s bat mitzvah.

She leaves behind a brother Ken Crystal, whom she adored, and a sister-in-law Anne Crystal, who she viewed as a sister, as well as nieces Maura Maziya Crystal and Debra Crystal. She was a loving aunt to Maura and great-aunt to her three children Harrison, Maya, and Inna.

Always strong but also gentle and full of generosity, Elaine cared greatly for her family and for society, and she was wonderful at making friends. Her love for and commitment to others were deeply admirable.
