Fox, Gladys Helen (Ullman),
90, died peacefully on Saturday, May 14, 2016 after briefly residing in the Episcopal Church Home, in Louisville.
Born on April 24, 1926 in Union City, New Jersey, Gladys was the only child of Sarah and David Ullman. While still attending grade school, she moved with her parents to the Bronx in New York to live closer to other members of her extended family, many of whom were first generation immigrants from Europe. Gladys graduated with a bachelor's degree from the City College of New York (CCNY) and soon afterward married Arnold Fox, a young Naval officer and fellow CCNY alumnus on June 16, 1946. Their marriage lasted nearly 70 years, ending when Arnold passed away in February of this year. Gladys moved with Arnold from New York City to Pittsburgh, Pa. where she raised three children, established many long-term friendships in the community, was a founding member of the reform Jewish congregation, Temple Emmanuel, in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, and pursued working careers in retail sales and later in education. Initially lacking a formal degree in education, she secured a teaching position in comparative religion at a local Catholic parochial high school. During the 1980s, after completing a master's degree in Education at the University of Pittsburgh in the field of special education, she helped to develop and fund various programs for the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, one of 29 Intermediate Units established in 1971 to support the academic and vocational educational needs of children with physical and cognitive disabilities throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Gladys was an avid reader who enjoyed fine art, music, and the rich diversity of world cultures that she was fortunate to encounter first hand as she traveled extensively with Arnold on business excursions. After retirement, Gladys moved with Arnold to Louisville, Kentucky, where she made new friends and again became an active member of her local community. Gladys served as a hospital volunteer and as a museum docent..
She was a loving mother to daughter Sandra (Fox) Herman and husband Richard of San Diego, and sons David Fox and wife Susan Bornstein of Louisville, and Victor Fox and wife Nancy Liu of Weston, Massachusetts. She loved her grandchildren, Lea (Herman) Rackoff and husband David Rackoff, Jessica Herman, Benjamin Fox and Miriam Fox and her great grandchildren Dana and Aaron Rackoff. Special thanks to Dr. Jane Cornett, for her compassionate care.
Funeral services will be 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 17, 2016 at Herman Meyer & Son, 1338 Ellison Ave., with burial to follow in The Temple Cemetery. Visitation will begin at 12:00 p.m. Expressions of sympathy may be made to The Temple, 5101 US Hwy 42, Louisville, KY 40241 or The Fund for the Arts, 623 W Main Street, Louisville, KY 40202.
