OBITUARIES SIMCHA

Harriet Sadow, 93 RYE, N.Y. – Harriet Feinberg Sadow passed away on July 27, 2023, in her home at the Osborne of Rye, New York. Harriet was born on April 21, 1930, to Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Feinberg in Fall River, Massachusetts. After graduating from high school, she attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where she was groomed in her craft and developed her passion for painting. In 1953, Harriet married Bernard David Sadow, who served in World War II and was the renowned inventor of “wheels on luggage.” They moved to Chappaqua, New York, in 1960 to raise their two children. Both she and her husband became patrons of the New York Metropolitan Opera and the philharmonic and avid members of the museum circuit. Annually, they traveled in Europe on opera and concert tours.

Harriet continued her education at Columbia University, graduating in 1971 with a master’s in art history. For the next 20 years she remained at the helm of the Lakeland High School art department.

Harriet was a prolific painter. Her subject matter was drawn from personal experiences, ranging from the city’s grit of subway strap hangers to portraits of domesticity. In her mature years, the cycle of the seasons was a recurring theme. Her work was exhibited in group shows and solo at the Lever Gallery in Manhattan, the Katonah Museum, and the Bruce Museum on the Hudson.

Harriet was predeceased by her loving husband of 57 years, Bernard; he passed on in 2011. She is survived by her son Brian Donald Sadow, and his wife, Judy, of Bronxville, New York, her daughter Gail Sadow O’Rourke, and granddaughter Feiyan Ada O’Rourke of New York, New York. Special thanks goes to Adris for her loving care during our mother’s declining years. Donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
