Pearl Anne Kagan, 90, beloved wife of the late Harold Kagan, passed away on Thursday, July 28, 2016, in Los Angeles, California in the home of her youngest daughter, Amy Kagan Wolin, with whom she lived since 2010, along with Amy’s husband, Jeff, and their children, Andrew and Amanda. Amy was a devoted daughter who selflessly cared for her mother for the past six years. Pearl was born in Woodridge, New York to Harry Kronenberg and Sarah Jablonsky on September 12, 1925 in their house. Pearl had two sisters, Esta and Eleanor, both of whom have passed away. She attended Woodridge High School. Pearl met Harold in 1947 in Woodridge, and the two of them were married in 1948. Pearl was a long term resident of Chambersburg, having moved to the Borough in 1950 with Harold. Pearl and Harold founded and operated the Sunset Drive-In on Route 11 from 1950, which provided family entertainment for over fifty years. Pearl met nearly every patron of the Sunset Drive-In, having worked in the ticket booth and snack bar alongside Harold every night for many years, as well as spending all night at the Sunset Drive-In during numerous dusk to dawn showings. Pearl was actively involved in the Sons of Israel Congregation and its Sisterhood. Pearl is survived by four children, Sharon Kagan, Lois Weiss, Alan Kagan, Amy Wolin, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. The funeral will be held at 1:00 PM on Monday, August 1, 2016, graveside at Congregation Sons of Isreal Cemetery in Chambersburg. Shiva will be held at Amy’s home in Los Angeles, California. The family would greatly appreciate that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or the American Heart Association in memory of Pearl. Amy and her family express profound gratitude for the loving care provided to Pearl by Monica, Marilou, Rosa, Mary Ann, Daniela, Chanel, Ellen, and her long-time friend, Betty.
