Bernice Orloff
Another of the greatest
generation is gone. Long-time
Brownwood resident Bernice
Orloff passed away quietly
March 7, 2013, with her hus-
band, Bernard, holding her
hand and in the presence of
family members. She was 94.
In a real sense, she chose
Brownwood. Bom in Des
Moines, Iowa on July 22, 1918,
she and Bernard met during
the war in Hollywood where
she worked in the movie
studios, and after the birth
of their son, they bought a
car (when cars were still scarce) and drove through Texas
and the southwest looking for a warm, dry climate and
a business to buy and run together. They found both
in Brownwood, where together they ran a retail jewelry
store for almost 40 years. Older Brownwood couples will
remember buying wedding rings there, and many brides-
to-be had their selections at Orloff Jewelers. Bernice was
a consummate businesswoman. Stanley Marcus was so
impressed, he tried to hire her to help him run the new
Neiman Marcus store in Dallas. It would have meant much
more money, but it also would have meant leaving Brown-
wood and the store they ran together — and she said no.
Her business acumen extended to social organizations,
including being President of the Brownwood Country Club
Women’s Organization.
For 70 years, she and Bernard were rarely separated.
They worked together and played tennis and golf together.
When those endeavors became too difficult, they could be
seen walking together in Coggin Park. The one exception
to their combined activities was her bridge playing with so
many friends over the years. She loved the twice weekly
matches (that eventually became bi-weekly) and the part-
ners with whom she played. But all those she played with
will confirm her playful beautiful blue eyes took on a new
look at the bridge table — she was competitive. She eventu-
ally became a Silver Life Master at duplicate bridge.
She delighted in her grandchildren. When Denise and
Julie were young, Gary and Marsha brought them to Brown-
wood for extended summer visits, and Grandma took
each girl separately to a “special” park where just the two
of them played together. There also were the mandatory
family trips to DisneyWorld and Hawaii. The “kids” lived in
Houston, and she and Grandpa traveled there for holidays
and family events, and when they no longer could manage
the trip, all family members traveled to Brownwood from
Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, Ga. for Thanksgiving.
Bernice was an educated woman, having attended Iowa
State majoring in chemical engineering in an era when
women trying to enter that profession were discriminated
against. She was an avid reader, from the classics to mod-
ern mysteries. In Brownwood, she organized a group that
read great books weekly and had thoughtful discussions
on the meaning, symbolism and lessons the books offered.
She also organized a Sunday school class when her son
was young for the children of the small Jewish community
in Brownwood.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Isabella and
Samuel Silverman of Des Moines, Iowa. She is survived by
her husband Bernard, her son, Gary and his wife, Marsha
of Houston, two daughters, Denise and husband Josh Starr
of Washington D.C. and Julie Orloff of Atlanta, Ga. The
family extends gratitude to the caregivers, including Mary
Beth, Christy, Dee, Linda, Linda, Beth, Mandi, Lisa, Teresa,
Charlene and Nancy, each of whom provided much-needed
support over the last years.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
Arrangements under the direction of Davis-Morris Funeral
Home.
