Obituary of
Sheryl Feinberg
Sheryl Feinberg passed away on August 17, 2023, in Dallas, Texas, surrounded by the love of her close family. Sheryl was the wife of Robert Feinberg for 52 years, mother to Cory and Michelle Feinberg, mother-in-law to Suzanne Feinberg, and beloved “Mimi” to Avner O’Sullivan, Brooke, and Hannah Feinberg.
Sheryl was the third daughter born to Mitzi and Charlie Stone on May 3, 1950, in Chicago, Illinois. She met Robert on a blind date in college, started a family, and began her notable career in Education before moving to Dallas in 1980.
Sheryl’s passion for Early Childhood Education and her love for Israel led her to teach preschool at then Solomon Schechter Academy. Later, Sheryl became the only professional in her field to hold Early Childhood Center Director positions at two of Dallas’s leading Jewish Day Schools; Temple Emanu-El and Levine Academy. During her instrumental 35 years of service in the Dallas Jewish Community, Sheryl touched countless lives.
Sheryl didn’t sweat the small stuff, and even when life handed her the big stuff, she persevered with strength, dignity, and grace. Sheryl loved being on the beach, rescuing dogs, gardening in her backyard, and spending time with her sister, Dotty.
Sheryl lit up the room and was the life of the party. She will be remembered as a vibrant woman with a spiritual soul and a generous heart. Sheryl was indeed a friend to all.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at 11:30 a.m. at Temple Emanu-El, Stern Chapel, with a reception to follow.

I am so sad to hear this news. Sheryl was a wonderful supporter of our family when we were at Schechter. She was a big fan of our son, Ethan and was one of the first member of Ethan’s Environmental Club when he was in the 4’s!! She will be missed! May her memory be a blessing.

My deepest condolences go out to Bob and his family. Prayers and loving thoughts are sent as you and go through this loss in you life.
One of my dearest memories of Sheryl, and there were many, is when I went to visit her and Aunt Mitzi when they lived in Chicago. She was 8 months pregnant with Michelle and there was a snow storm, but that didn’t stop her. She drove me around like a champ over hills and snow banks it didn’t matter she was determined to show me the sites of Chicago. Another fond memory I have is when I went to Dallas for Michelle’s Bat’ Mitzvah she took me to all the hot spots in Dallas. We had wonderful conversations throughout the years and especially during her cancer journey. She always had a positive attitude and was determined she would beat this beast.
I always admired her determination and her giving, and loving spirit. Sheryl I love you so and will miss hearing your voice on the other side of the phone.
