Martin Feibish, of North Providence, Dies at 90
He was the beloved husband of Gloria (Zias) Feibish for 66 years. Martin was born in The Bronx New York City, a son of Max and Ada Feibish, and moved to Providence, RI in 1962. He was the devoted and dear brother of Norma Shorin (deceased) and loving Uncle of Carol Desforges (John) and Loraine Schwartz (Marty) (deceased).
Martin was a devoted husband and friend, caring, compassionate, fair minded, non-judgmental, a good listener, philanthropic, and always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a devoted son, brother and other family members and friends, when they were in dire need of assistance. He was his wife’s special caregiver helping her recover from many surgeries, and was his wife’s biggest supporter in her work with children with special disabilities. He had extensive community involvement in Jewish charitable organizations such as the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center, The Adele Decof Foundation for Cancer Research, and the notable Bureau of Jewish Education, where he was the recipient of a special “Builder of Jewish Education” Award. He helped to raise funds for many of these organizations.
