Ann R. Chernoff,                       Lifelong Resident, Dies At 91
Ann R. Chernoff, 91, a lifelong resident of Newtown, widow of Milton Chernoff, died January 19 at Ashlar of Newtown.
Mrs Chernoff was born in Austria on October 23, 1909, daughter of the late Max and Fannie Busker, and was the proprietor, with her late husband, of Ann & Miltâs Service Station until 1968.
She came with her mother to Newtown at the age of 5 in 1914. They joined her father and brothers, who ran a dairy farm on Washbrook Road. According to her family, she always said one of the biggest thrills as a youngster was delivering milk to Mary Hawley.
Her father was a founding member of Adath Israel Synagogue in Newtown.
Mrs Chernoff was one of the first to attend and graduate from Hawley School and was also the first of four generations to attend. Her son, Robert, and grandchildren Deborah, Mark, and Lisa attended Hawley, and now a great-grandchild, Keri, attends first grade at Hawley School.
On October 11, 1931, Mrs Chernoff and her husband were the first couple to be married in Edmond Town Hall.
She is survived by her son, Robert Chernoff of Woodbury; her sister, Lillian Lotstein of Stamford; her grandchildren, Mark Chernoff, Lisa and David Bateman, and Deborah Chernoff; and her great grandchildren, Keri, Kevin, and Kyle Chernoff.
Services took place January 21 from the Abraham L. Green and Son Funeral Home, 88 Beach Road, Fairfield, with interment following at Hebrew Sick Benefit Cemetery on Black Rock Turnpike.
