Sara and Nathan Gorn OF BLESSED MEMORY
Sara Gorn was born in 1912 and passed away on November 13, 1998 just after her 86th birthday. Sara’s husband, Nathan, predeceased her four years earlier almost to the exact day. Nathan graduated from Baltimore City College in 1927 and took evening courses in Business Economics at Johns Hopkins University. He was known for making humorous puns and witty sayings and affectionately called
“Nuny” by his friends and family. Sara was smart, strong willed, funny, and was described by her friends as being “always up for a good time.” Sara and Nat loved to travel and spent most of the 1950’s seeing the world. They toured Eastern and Western Europe, Africa (a Kenyan Safari), Japan, The Middle East (including Israel), Australia and almost everything in between. Sara and Nat spent their summers in Fire Island and winters in Miami. They were completely devoted to each other. Sara was distantly related to Suzanne Pleshette and Rodney Dangerfield
and loved to talk about her famous cousins. Nat and Sara were very committed to Jewish causes and the future of the Miami Jewish community. In memory of his beloved mother, Rebecca, Nathan sponsored the inscription of Torah Portion for Aventura-Turnberry Jewish Center’s Torah Dedication. Sara and Nathan became Forever Pacesetters by making a legacy commitment of $200,000 or more to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. Although Nathan and Sara never had children of their own to care for, they established the Nathan and Sara Gorn Memorial Fund to provide scholarship assistance to college students who are enrolled in professional degree programs and pursuing careers in Jewish education and Jewish communal service. May Nathan and Sara’s memory be forever a blessing.
