Gloria Jean Magence (nee Rashbaum), age 62, died in Israel on Monday, Nov. 24.
Born in Kansas City, Mo, on Jan. 13, 1952, she was the third daughter of Ruby and Mayer Rashbaum. She lived in Kansas City for 21 years when she married David in 1973. It was her lifelong dream to move to Israel and she and David turned that into a reality when they made Aliyah in 1975. Gloria loved Israel with all her heart and soul and was very happy to have the opportunity to raise her children there.
Survivors include her husband, David Magence of Jerusalem, Israel; her sisters Jackie Strauss of Buffalo Grove, Ill., and Shelli Frimer of Ma’aleh Adumim, Israel; as well as her children Avishai and Nomi Magence and Techiya (nee Magence) and Yoni Noyman and 10 grandchildren.
