DIVERS RECOVER BODY OF MOORPARK WOMAN
Funeral services were to be conducted in Ventura today for Mrs. Abraham Menashe, 39, Moorpark housewife who died in the crash of her light plane off Santa Barbara Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Menashe’s body was recovered yesterday from her shattered aircraft a few hundred feet offshore of the Hope Ranch area by divers working in a dense curtain of kelp in 60 feet of water.
CAUSE UNKNOWN – Attempts were being made to bring the wreckage of the Cessna 175 Skylark to shore, so that FAA investigators can probe the cause of the crash, which came moments after the student pilot had taken off at Goleta airport. Mrs. Menashe, the former Allegra Behar, was born in New York City, November 21, 1923.
Her family moved to Burbank where she and her husband-to-be, Abraham, were classmates in Burbank High School. Mr. Menashe is a prominent Moorpark poultry man. They celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary recently with an air trip to Arizona. They had lived in Ventura County 11 years.
SURVIVORS – Survivors include three sons, Victor, Jack and Marc Menashe, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Behar, Burbank; sisters, Mrs. Stella Gilbert, Miss Rose Behar, and Mrs. Jack Mutal, and a brother, Eli Behar, all of Burbank.
