BOYNTON BEACH, FLA. – Hope Elaine Globus, of Boynton Beach, formerly of Providence, passed away peacefully on Aug. 10, 2024, at her daughter Patti’s home in Barrington surrounded by family. She was 94 years young. Hope shared 73 years of life and love with her beloved husband, Melvin Globus, who predeceased her 10 months ago.
Hope was a talented, vibrant artist with a flair for design, fashion, style and color, which she expressed through painting and her antiques collection. It was unusual to catch her outside of her home not dressed to the nines and fully accessorized.
Hope began her career as an assistant handbag buyer. She had a sharp business mind and a love for the stock market. Hope attended Parson's School of Design and graduated from Bryant College. Hope’s home was her castle; she loved her Tivoli Lakes community, and they kept a watchful eye on her while she navigated life without her soulmate.
Hope was the adored daughter of Bessie and John Fierstein and beloved sister of Herbert Firestone, who predeceased her. She loved being visited in Florida by her loving family and making memories together. She is survived by two daughters, Sherri Orloff, of Swampscott, Massachusetts, and Patti (Bud) Lackey, of Barrington. She was the cherished grandmother of Marc (Anne) Orloff, Jaime (Adam) Feeney, Brad (Ali) Lackey and Evan (Meghan) Lackey. She was the proud great-grandmother of Daniel, Jonathan, Mason, Samara, Eliza, Avery, Thomas and Siobhan. Hope also leaves behind the extended Lackey family, including nieces, nephews and cousins, who had traveled to celebrate her early birthday this weekend.
