Pearl Zvirman

Albany – Pearl Zvirman, 98, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2023 at The Eddy Village Green in Cohoes after a brief illness surrounded by her loving family. Born in Nassau on February 12, 1925 she is the daughter of the late Max and Anna (Eisenberg) Lipschitz.

Pearl was a 1943 graduate of Phillip Schuyler High School and worked as a bookkeeper and secretary. In 1970, she moved to Pittsburgh, PA and that is where she met and married, the late Morton Zvirman, on December 18, 1971.

Pearl enjoyed bowling, playing mahjong, and knitting. She made sure that everyone in her family had one of her afghans. Pearl also enjoyed watching and attending sporting events especially her beloved Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. She was the type of woman that when engaged, could have your ear for hours. She will truly be missed by all who were lucky enough to know and love her.
