Mrs. Aber died in her home in Yarmouth Port, at the age of 99.
She was the wife of Dr. Max Aber, a physician.
Mrs. Aber fled Germany in 1937, and after many narrow escapes arrived in the U.S. in 1941, where her first marriage ended in divorce. Her second marriage to Dr. Aber took her to Kenmore, N.Y., a suburb of Buffalo, N.Y., where she became the office manager of her husband's medical practice. They retired to the Cape in the early 1970s, where Dr. Aber, again, practiced for a short time.
Gertrude was the only child of Hermann and Blanche Bauer. She majored in music and became an accomplished pianist. Her love of music continued throughout her life.
After retiring to Yarmouth Port, she took up tennis and became active in many organizations, including the Women's Auxiliary of the Rotary Club, the College Women's Club and a French Club. She was very civic minded and it was an important part of her life to volunteer for community and charitable work, such as the hospital auxiliary and the Barnstable County Court house, where she became a fixture.
The couple traveled widely and made many friends throughout the world, with whom Gertrude corresponded to the end.
She is survived by two stepdaughters, Marianne Rippe of Westfield, N.J., and Evelyn Lisi of Chagrin Falls, Ohio; a daughter—in-law, Randie Lowenthal of New York City; seven grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren. Her husband Max, and a son, Walter Lowenthal, predeceased her.
A graveside ceremony was held at Ancient Cemetery, Yarmouthport on Jan. 5.
