Sarah Weinroth
WEINROTH: On Tuesday, May 7, Sarah Weinroth (Migdal), 94, recently of Suffern, New York passed. She was the beloved wife of the late Ignace (Iggy) Weinroth, mother to Juliette (Pepper) and Joseph, grandmother of 10, and great-grandmother of many more. Raised in Brussels, Belgium, she survived the Holocaust and Nazi occupation in hiding at a nearby Catholic convent. After the war, she met and married Iggy, and they immigrated to the US and settled in Pittsburgh. She worked tirelessly to build a good life for her family, starting the Eastmont Cleaners with Iggy and successfully running it for twenty years together. They happily retired to Scottsdale, Arizona thereafter. They were married 50 years until his passing in 2001. Sarah was a cherished matriarch in every sense of the word. She always had kindness and wisdom to share with her family and friends, and never tired of doing what she could to help those she loved succeed. Sarah was as determined as one can imagine, and almost always found a way to achieve her goals—as well as helping others find a way to achieve theirs. Sarah was a generous and much-loved soul, and she will be dearly missed. Burial services were held at Shaare Torah Cemetery on May 8. Shiva will be observed at her son, Joseph’s, home in Squirrel Hill. The family requests any contributions be made to the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh.
