Martha (Gold) Gersten, born January 8, 1947 passed away in her home on August 22, 2023, from a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Martha’s bright red hair and even brighter personality livened up every place she went. She was a skilled lab technician, and loved dancing, skiing, travel, flowers, and chocolate. She touched many people as a flight attendant for TWA and American Airlines, a docent at the Missouri Botanical Garden and greeter at Congregation B’Nai Amoona.

Martha was devoted to her husband Ronald Gersten Z’L who died in 2010 and her dear friends Sheldon Wallerstein and Deborah Blackwell.

She is predeceased by her parents, Benjamin Gold and Dorothy Gold and a sister, Lois. She is survived by her step-children, Garth Gersten, Seth Gersten, Ilise Gersten and their families.

Graveside service Friday, August 25, 10:00 AM at Chevra Kadisha Cemetery, 1601 North and South Rd. 63130. Donations in her memory may be made to the Missouri Botanical Garden or to Congregation B’Nai Amoona General Fund.
