Longtime Pacific Palisades resident Ann Blumberg passed away at her home April 10 after a series of illnesses, including heart disease. She was 77. Born June 25, 1926 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Blumberg moved to L.A. with her parents, Louis and Goldie Berman, in her late teens. She received a B.A. in education from UCLA. She met her husband Meyer on a blind date, and in the early 1950s they moved to the Palisades, where they raised their two sons, Mark and Robert. The family belonged to Kehillat Israel, then known as The Jewish Community of Pacific Palisades, where both boys made their bar mitzvah. During the years her sons attended Marquez Elementary, Paul Revere and Palisades High, Blumberg worked for LAUSD as a substitute teacher and gave piano lessons in her home. She was an avid tennis player and a docent at LACMA. Her husband, who died in 1990, owned Palisades Yardage on Via de la Paz, as well as an electronics retail store in Culver City. Blumberg is survived by her two sons. Mark graduated from Cal State Long Beach in 1971 and is a writer who lives in Scotts Valley, California, with his wife Masako. Robert received a master’s degree in engineering from UCLA and is a consultant in the computer industry. He lives in Santa Cruz with his wife Vanessa and their 16-year-old son, Asher.
