Mary was born in Heightstown, NJ on November 19, 1913, a daughter of the late Bernard and Dora (Berkowitz) Corn.
A child of the depression, she took over her brother’s Brooklyn lumber yard business in 1961 and successfully managed the business throughout many years.
An accomplished woman, she went on to achieve multiple career successes, including her financial administrator work at the Center for Preventive Psychiatry. After her professional career, she continued a full life of volunteer service for multiple organizations for the visually impaired.

She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
She is predeceased by her beloved husband Samuel Feigenbaum, her brothers Paul, Harry, Abraham and Herman, and sisters Frances and Rita.
Living with her daughter Deborah and husband Keith, she was lovingly embraced by the Rathjen family. The family extends a special thank you to her beloved son-in-law Keith for his patience, loving care.
