Bernadine Gene Belkin

She understood the power of friendship and was rewarded with lifelong friends.

Bernadine is predeceased by her parents Milton & Elsie (Spector) Cohen and sister Anita (Cohen) Millman. She was married for 52 years to the late Sanford N. Belkin, originally of Albany, NY.  She is survived by her three children, son Jack Belkin of Dartmouth, MA; daughter Joyce Lieb (Carl), of El Paso, TX; and son Samuel Belkin (Ann Hellerstein) of Rockville, MD; seven grandchildren, Joseph Lieb (Kim Greenway), Eric Lieb (Lena), Daniel Belkin (Tanvi Butola), Mitchell Belkin, David Lieb, Tessa Belkin and Melanie Belkin; four great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
