She will be deeply missed by her loving family and by her many friends and associates. She was the coordinator of the Jewish Heritage Center Project of the Arizona Jewish Historical Society, an effort that reclaims for the Jewish community the first synagogue building in Phoenix.

This undertaking is the completion of a dream she held for many years. Until March of 2002, she was the executive director of the Arizona Jewish Historical Society. She joined the Jewish Historical Society in 1989 as curator and archivist and during her tenure there, she brought much recognition to the importance of preserving ethnic history, particularly in the Southwest. She established a Web site for the organization and was instrumental in developing Shema Arizona, a separate Web site produced in collaboration with Arizona State University Libraries. This Web site contains transcriptions of some 65 oral histories, photos, sound excerpts, graphics and music to enhance learning about the formation of the Arizona Jewish community.

Beryl also displayed tremendous creativity in exhibiting the treasures of the past, developing more than 10 exhibitions on Arizona Jewish ranchers, lawyers, merchants, authors and veterans, among others. In her younger life, she worked as a social worker, helping to place infants into adoptive homes and counseling single mothers. After moving here from Chicago in 1957, she worked for the Arizona Welfare Department, the Florence Crittenton Home and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1967, she retired from social work and began a life of volunteer and professional community service. In the 1970s she was president of the Royal Palm School PTA and coordinator of the Panel of American Women, an ethnically diverse group that sought to advance understanding and respect for all people.

She was active in the North Phoenix Corporate Ministry, a mutually supported interfaith association composed of two synagogues, a Catholic church and five Protestant churches and their clergy. She also was the editor of the organization's publication, "The Next Frontier." In the 1980's, she was special exhibition curator, docent trainer and newsletter editor for the Sylvia Plotkin Judaica Museum. Born August 15, 1929 in Chicago to Anne Maltz Schubert and the late Robert I. Schubert, she graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles at the age of 20 with a degree in psychology. She also pursued graduate studies at the University of Chicago and Arizona State University, She is survived by her husband, Ira, to whom she was married for 50 years; daughter, Debra (Steve) Gelbart of Phoenix; son, Joel of Aspen, adored grandsons Jonathan and Benjamin Gelbart; mother, Anne Schubert of Phoenix; and brothers Gordon (Jerri) Schubert of Scottsdale and Dr.
