Group Home Residents Mourn the Passing of Audrey Reich

We are sad to report that Audrey Reich, an original JFS Group Home resident, passed away earlier this week at the age of 81. She endured various health challenges in recent years, but just kept on “doing her thing” with gusto until last week. Over the past week, her health conditions took a bad turn and she passed, easily and peacefully, with the support of her family, our dedicated staff, fellow residents, and support from Beth Nehamah Hospice services.

The Group Home residents and JFS staff will miss Audrey immensely. Arnie Kover, director of disability and employment services says, “We will always remember her passion for shopping (she was a fashionable thrift store maven) and eating out (even enjoying a cocktail on her very special 80th birthday dinner), her love for her Group Home family, and especially how she used the words, ‘you’re delicious’ to express her affection for those especially close to her.”

Thanks to all of you who made Audrey's 27 years living at our Group Home extra special!
