For more than 50 years, the Stein family was royalty in Greenville and throughout Mississippi.

The Stein Mart stores eventually became a staple of life throughout the South.

On Saturday, Freda Grundfest Stein, died at her home in Jacksonville, Fla. Stein was 96 years old.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Hebrew Union Temple in Greenville, with the burial following in the Jewish Cemetery.

Most of the Stein family has long left Mississippi with the corporate headquarters now in Jacksonville with Fred’a son, Jay still the CEO. And even the original Stein Mart has been torn down in recent years in downtown Greenville. However a Stein Mart still remains in the River City as well as in many cities throughout Mississippi.

    Thanks for posting this article. I’m definitely frustrated with struggling to search out relevant and brilliant commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, applicable insight.
