Jeanne (Wilkofsky) Bloomstein

Jeanne Wilkofsky Bloomstein, 96, passed away peacefully in her sleep on May 5, 2025. She was born on September 5, 1928 in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. Jeanne graduated from Lincoln High School and the Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham College). She began her career as an elementary school teacher in Pennsylvania before moving to Lorain, Ohio, where she met the love of her life, Elias Bloomstein. They were married on March 24, 1957, and together they raised two children, Marcia and Marc. Jeanne later earned her master’s degree in education and taught elementary school in the Lorain Public Schools for over 35 years. 

A dedicated member of the community, Jeanne was actively involved in Agudath B’nai Israel Synagogue and its Sisterhood, and she served as a past president of Hadassah. She enjoyed traveling and cherished time spent with family and friends. In 2018, she moved to Rancho Palos Verdes, California, to be closer to her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.

Jeanne is survived by her daughter, Marcia (Bloomstein) Luce of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA; her son, Marc Bloomstein of Las Vegas, NV; and her granddaughter, Elissa Luce, also of Rancho Palos Verdes. She was preceded in death by her husband, Elias Bloomstein, and her parents, Pauline and Harry Wilkofsky. A private graveside service was conducted on Friday, May 9, 2025 at Salem Cemetery in Lorain, Ohio.
