Ms. Bernstein was a graduate of Tulane University (Newcomb), and obtained her master’s degree from George Washington University. She worked in marketing and focused on research.

She is survived by her mother, Evelyn; her son, Alexander; her siblings, Sandra and Sheryl; and her nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation be made in memory of Ms. Bernstein to Multiple Myeloma research at Johns Hopkins.
