WORCESTER - Kathryn Sue (Gerber) Pulda Age 90, passed away on November 30, 2023, surrounded by her family.
Born April 21, 1933, in New York City to Philip and Fritzi Gerber. Kathryn moved to Worcester in 1941. She graduated from Classical High School and received her associate degree from Becker Jr. College. She married Arnold (Marty) Pulda in 1953 and shared 50 years of marriage until his death in 2003.
Kathryn is survived by her son and daughter-in-law David Pulda and Amy Glick of Seattle, WA and her daughter and son-in-law Ellen Pulda and Gerald Sherman of Norwood, MA. She leaves behind her grandchildren Alex Pulda and his wife, Meghann of Los Angeles, Ilana Pulda of Camby, OR, Lily and Eliza Sherman, both of New York City and great granddaughter, Liv Pulda. She is also survived by her niece Gale Pulda Pignataro of Worcester, MA and her family and a circle of many Pulda cousins. Kathryn also leaves behind several longtime friends who she met when she married Marty and were all part of a large, close-knit group.
Kathryn worked in a range of businesses in Worcester including Ware Pratt, Anderson Little and The Ivy Shop. Following her retail career, Kathryn enjoyed being a companion to senior citizens. She was a member of Congregation Beth Israel, a board member of the Worcester Chapter of Hadassah, and a member of the Jewish War Veterans. But first and foremost, Kathryn adored her family and would travel any distance to spend time with them.
The family would like to thank the dedicated and devoted staff at both the Eisenberg Assisted Living and the Jewish Healthcare Center for their loving care during the past 7 years.
