Adrienne Segal

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Adrienne Gail Segal, a loving daughter, sister, and aunt who succumbed to long-term lung disease on August 7th.  “A” as she was fondly known, was born in Queens, New York on September 30, 1954.  She attended college in Tennessee and subsequently, got her Master's Degree and Ph.D., in education.  She started her teaching career in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as a middle school math teacher, then moved to Austin, Texas where she taught high school math in Round Rock ISD.  After moving to Houston, she worked as a high school math teacher for Fort Bend and then Alief school districts.
Adrienne would tell you that the highlight of her career was the years she spent as the Austin, Texas American Federation of Teachers Local Union president.  She loved recruiting to build a stronger Union and loved a good fight to benefit the union.
Upon retiring from teaching, Adrienne became a travel agent, specializing in cruises.  Cruising was her favorite vacation and one of the ways she was able to travel throughout the world.  She loved arts and crafts and many people were the beneficiaries of her creations. She also enjoyed spoiling her nephew, Brandon. When he was a child, she would buy him gifts that made loud noises, to drive her sister and brother-in-law, Holly and Randy crazy. As Brandon grew older, she transitioned from noise-making gifts to taking him on international cruises.
Adrienne made friends wherever she went. As her long-time friend Dana said, “she was the most loyal friend there was.”  She had a kind and generous heart and a very giving soul.  She was an ardent Democrat and was looking forward to campaigning in future elections.
She is survived by her father, Martin Segal, sister, Holly Segal Plost, and her husband, Randall Plost, her brother, David Segal, and her nephew, Brandon Plost, and his wife, Faye.
A graveside Funeral Service will be held Tuesday, August 9th at 10:00am at Beth Jacob Cemetery, 2300 Almeda Genoa Rd, Houston, TX 77047.
