HANNAH KUPFER BEREN Hannah Kupfer Beren passed away peacefully in her sleep at the young age of 96 on January 6, 2024. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, Hannah was also a very loyal friend to many of all ages. Hannah was a proud Dallasite and Texan, born to parents Pearl (G.G.) and Charles (Gamp) Kupfer. She was very close to them. She attended Forest Avenue High School and Southern Methodist University. In 1945, she met the love of her life, Carl M. Beren, on a blind date to the Texas-OU football game. They married on April 20, 194 7, in Dallas, Texas, where they made their home for 75 years. Hannah & Carl were like two peas in a pod, always together. You did not see one without the other for all those years. They were lifetime members of Sherith Israel Congregation. Hannah was the ultimate Jewish homemaker, caring for her husband and three children, Julia, Beverly and Michael. She was always there for them after school and taking them to all their outside activities. She was also a woman of style with an eye for art, color and design. This was evident in their home with the wonderful art and antiques that she and Carl collected as well as in her impeccable and stylish personal presence. She was an avid reader, too. Once, she belonged to three book clubs at the same time. She was a great conversationalist! Hannah was very much involved with her charities. She was passionate as the President of Mizrachi Woman, now known as Amit. She was alongside her beloved Carl as they raised and donated thousands of dollars for the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas. She was the second recipient of the Bess Nathan Award for all of her work in the 1960's in support of the Federation. She was so proud to represent the Federation at the Convention in Philadelphia. Hannah and Carl travelled and enjoyed collecting along the way. Once her children were out of the nest, Hannah was eager to learn more about cooking. The presentation of a meal was everything to her. Hannah and Carl loved having dinner parties in their home. No one could set a table like Hannah did. The Dallas Morning News even published an article about her, September 19, 1996. Hannah enjoyed working. She was the Bridal Consultant for Neiman Marcus at their Downtown location, in the 1980's. Later, she worked at the Children's Collection where she was recognized as one of the top Sales Associates in Dallas.
