Ruth Shapiro Reinberg,
headed family society.

Ruth Shapiro Reinberg, president of a family society that assisted in the emigration and resettlement of Lithuanian Jewish relatives in the United States and other countries, died of heart failure Friday at the Jewish Convalescent Home in Pikesville. She was 88.

Born in Baltimore on Pierce Street, where her parents operated a grocery store, she attended public schools and later helped her parents operate a dry goods store in the 500 block of N. Chester St. Before her 1969 marriage to Sol Reinberg, proprietor of a kosher bakery in Northwest Baltimore, she worked in the accounting office of the Davidson Transfer and Storage Co. After her husband died in 1976, she ran the bakery for more than a year.

Mrs. Reinberg was a longtime member of Suburban Orthodox Congregation, Beth Tfiloh Congregation and other Jewish organizations in Baltimore.

She was also an avid world traveler who enjoyed visiting fellow members of the B'nai Abraham and Yehuda Laib Family Society, an organization founded in 1901 by an uncle to assist in the emigration of relatives to the United States, South Africa, Palestine and South America. Mrs. Reinberg, who wrote a history of the society, was its president from 1950 to 1952 and co-president from 1987 until her death.

She is survived by a sister-in-law, Mildred K. Shapiro of Baltimore; five nieces and nephews; and many great-nieces and great-nephews.
