Shirley Dorothy Bergman, a former educator who spent 30 years working in the Roslyn school system, has died at 94.

Bergman died July 14 of Alzheimer’s disease.

She was born in New York City on July 23, 1927. She lived in Queens and graduated from Queens College with a bachelor of arts, master of arts and a master of science.

In the 1950s, she began working in the Roslyn school system where she taught at the elementary level.  She retired in 1982.

Later, she joined the Women’s Division of the Jewish Federation in Miami-Dade County after moving to Florida. She received the Life Achievement Award from the Orloff Central Agency for Jewish Education.

An avid traveler, she joined students on the second “March of the Living” to Israel and Auschwitz in 1989. The event gathers students from across the world to visit Poland to study the Holocaust’s remnants.

Prior to moving to Pembroke Pines Century Village, she lived in Davie, Fla. In the end, she moved to West Palm Beach, Fla., to be closer to her niece. She was receiving hospice care at the time of her death.

She never married. A large number of great nephews and nieces survives her. She also had many close friends whom she regarded as members of her family.

She is buried in the Temple Beth El Memorial Gardens in Davie, Fla., next to her mother.

If interested, the family is requesting donations be made to the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry, which aids youngsters in continuing their studies after high school. They request that Bergman’s name be included in any contributions.
