ABE FELDSOTT
Abe Feldsott, age 95, beloved husband of 66 years to Florence Pearlstone Feldsott, died on Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2018, at Palmetto Health Tuomey.
Abe was born on Feb. 10, 1923, in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was a son of the late Harry and Anna Gordon Feldsott. He was a very hard worker all his life.

He brought his family to Sumter, where he opened Fields Home Fashions, which was in business for almost 50 years. Abe was known for his dry sense of humor, which was loved by all, and it never left him. He had a zest for life and never complained.
