Beatrice Berk Resident of the Month

Beatrice Berk

A Trailblazer and Beacon of Elegance.

We are thrilled to introduce Beatrice as our Resident of the Month. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Beatrice’s life has been marked by resilience, innovation, and a touch of glamour. She married her beloved husband and together they raised three children. After his untimely passing at the age of 52, Beatrice took a bold step forward and moved to Detroit, where she took over his car dealership.

Breaking barriers, Beatrice became the first lady of General Motors, championing the role of women in the automotive industry. Recognizing that women were an increasingly significant market for cars, she initiated women’s seminars, empowering many to make informed purchasing decisions.

Her career took another exciting turn when she moved to Chicago and became a personal shopper at Bloomingdale’s. Renowned for her impeccable taste and dedication, Beatrice was celebrated as the best of the best. Her achievements were highlighted by an unforgettable three-day stay at the Waldorf Astoria in New York and her picture prominently displayed in Bloomingdale’s window on Lexington Avenue.

After a fulfilling career, Beatrice retired to the Polo Club in Boca Raton, Florida, where she enjoyed a serene and joyful life. Eventually, her daughter’s wish for her to be closer prompted Beatrice to search for a new home. She found The Oscar and knew immediately it was the perfect place for her.

Beatrice has embraced life at The Oscar, cherishing the beautiful surroundings and the warm community. She often stands on her balcony, looking out at the fountains and feeling as if she is at a five-star resort. Beatrice knows that the wait for the Oscar to open was well worth it, as she finds immense joy and satisfaction in her new home.

Beatrice’s story is one of strength, elegance, and an enduring spirit. We are honored to have her as part of our community and to recognize her as Resident of the Month. Her presence enriches The Oscar, and we look forward to many more shared memories with her.
