Mrs. Maxine Rubin Feinberg

July 17, 1942 - March 14, 2018

Our beloved Maxine Rubin Feinberg peacefully passed away on March 14, 2018 surrounded by loving family at the John F. Keever, Jr. Solace Center, Asheville. Born on July 17, 1942 in Bangor Maine, Maxine moved to Miami, Florida as a teenager where she later met her husband of 54 years. Maxine and Bernie moved to Asheville in 1966. After volunteering at her children’s schools, Maxine served as an assistant librarian at Haw Creek Elementary for several decades. After retiring, she had the best job of all...Grandma. Maxine is survived by her husband, Bernard Feinberg; daughter Dove and her spouse Scott Walker of Roswell, GA, sons Joseph and his spouse Barbara Feinberg of Roswell, GA, and Hugh and his spouse Lara Feinberg of Waynesville, NC; grandchildren Ari Walker, Connie Feinberg, Aliza Walker, Jared Feinberg, Raviv Walker, Leah Feinberg and Eva Feinberg. Thank you for teaching us to leave no piece of chocolate uneaten and no bowl or spoon unlicked. Your generosity not only reminds us to be generous ourselves, but has taught us how much there is to see and love and learn (AND EAT!!) in the world. We will love and miss you forever. A funeral service will be held at 3:00 PM on Sunday, March 18, 2018 at Congregation Beth HaTephila, 43 N. Liberty Street with Rabbi Batsheva H. Meiri officiating. A private burial will take place at Lou Pollock Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (https://www.diabetesresearch.org/).
