Barbara and Jerry Opinsky, who met as students at Syracuse University and later tied the knot on Groundhog Day in 1964, joyously mark their 60th wedding anniversary. From Connecticut to Georgia, then Maryland, their journey eventually led them to settle in St. Louis in 1973. Over the years, Jerry dedicated more than three decades to owning and operating an American shoe factory.
Barbara finds delight in singing, acting, and engaging in activities like pickleball and maj, while Jerry is an ardent card player and Cardinals fan. Their family includes their children, Larry and Joyce Opinsky and Howard Opinsky and Colleen Connors, and they proudly cherish their four grandchildren: Sarah Margaret, Molly, Lilly and Sam.
The couple will mark this milestone at a service at Congregation B’nai Amoona and will create cherished memories with their family throughout the weekend.
