Sara Hirsch

Sara Hirsch was born in Odessa, Russia in 1926. She passed away peacefully on June 28, 2024 in New Jersey.

As an infant, Sara immigrated to Brooklyn, New York, with her parents, Mary and Samuel, and her brother, Abe. Her family’s journey was one of hope and resilience, and it laid the foundation for Sarah’s strong character.

When Sara was only 12 she had a “boyfriend”, Murray. At 12 & 13 they had a mock marriage ceremony complete with a cigar band ring. Sarah then officially married her childhood sweetheart, who had returned from duty in World War II. Their marriage spanned over 62 years ~ It was a love story of enduring commitment and shared dreams. They built a life filled with love, laughter and adventure.

Sara was not only a devoted wife and mother but also a successful businesswoman. Alongside her husband, Murray, she contributed to the growth of Century 21 Real Estate in Cinnaminson. Her entrepreneurial spirit and determination left a lasting impact on the community.

Sara was very active at the Temple Sinai Sisterhood. Her radiance and positivity were infectious. She approached each and every day with optimism. To Sara, every vacation was the “best ever,” and she cherished the moments spent with family and friends.

Her kindness truly knew no bounds. Sarah was a dear friend to many, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. Her legacy will live on through the lives she touched.
Sara is survived by her four children, Madalyn Fichtner (George Fichtner), Iris Hirsch, Bill Hirsch (Debbie Hirsch) & Andew Hirsch (Susan Hirsch), 10 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.
