TRIPP: Barbara Tripp, 90, passed away peacefully at her home in Boynton Beach, Florida, on May 3, 2024. She was the beloved wife of the late Irving Tripp, with whom she shared 65 wonderful years of marriage. Born in New York City on Feb. 1, 1934, to the late Charles and Sadie Heitner Smith, Barbara was the sister of the late Howard Smith. She spent most of her life in Edison, New Jersey, before moving to Boynton Beach in her later years. A graduate of NYU, Barbara embarked on a fulfilling career as a travel agent, a profession that perfectly complemented her passion for exploring the world. She cherished her regular visits to New York City, where she attended classes at the New School and immersed herself in the city’s vibrant theater scene and renowned museums. Barbara generously shared her love for New York City with her family, creating lasting memories of their adventures together. Barbara leaves behind a loving family who will deeply miss her: her daughter Karen Friedman (Jack) and son Steven Tripp (Ellen); grandchildren Hillary Friedman, Max Friedman (Maggie), Tovah Tripp (William) and Charlie Tripp (Danielle); and great-grandchildren Brooks and Ava Friedman, and Michael and Samara Rafelson. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made in Barbara’s memory to a charity of your choice. PJC
