EttaLeah Bluestein Obituary

I was a patient of Dr. Bluestein years ago. I was asked who performed my surgery and I could not stop bragging about her and her staff. I just found out about her passing as I tried to refer a friend to her. She was truly amazing and very personable. May her soul rest in peace and may her family find comfort in the memories she left.

Ettaleah was a good friend and a very loyal customer to us. Her death was a shock to us. Our prayers are with you and your family. She will be missed

Nicky, I didn't think I was going to make it to Ettaleah''s funeral because 9:30 that morning was one of our holy days of obligation, All Souls Day mass. But I decided to go even if I was late. I am so glad I did. I got to hear your son celebrate his mom's life, capturing her essense. Wow, what a gal!

We were patients of Dr. Bluestein and it's with great sadness that we just learned of her passing. We always appreciated not only her professionalism, but also her personal warmth and her artistic talent, we admired her paintings that were hung in the office on Henry Tecklenburg Drive. We know that she touched many peoples' lives as she did ours. We send our condolences to her family and friends. John Haskell and Jon Shipp

I am so sad to hear this. Etta Leah was a classmate of my husband, Al Jordan, at MUSC. She was my eye doctor until we moved from Charleston . She was such a nice person and I always admired her. Prayers and comfort to her family .

Dear Nicky, I am so sorry for your loss. EttaLeah was a dear friend to us. We will cherish our dinners and visits with you both. Our love to you and your family. What a positive role model EttaLeah was to Katie and to our daughter, Olivia.

Nicky and family, I am so sorry for the Bluestein family.While I didn't know EttaLeah personally, I know through Nicky and Scott that she was a terrific person. God Bless all of you, Thad and Colleen Vincent

I am very sorry to read of Dr. Bluestein's passing , I was a patient several years ago, she left a Saturday's luncheon with out of town friends to attend to an eye problem I suddenly had, I was at the ER in Mt. Pleasant, I will never forget her kindness and the length of time she spent with me. RIP forever Dr. B.

We met Dr. Bluestein many years ago at St. Francis Hospital. My sister had some eye issues and one of the doctors said "That" is who we need! She was an amazing, caring, professional, friend and our family eye doctor for many years. Elaine and Mike Gooch

always gracious always caring made a huge impact on my life thanks doc !

Ettaleah was so amazing. She was a master multi-tasker. I remember one time we were talking on the phone and she was making breakfast for her family, studying for a medical school exam and trying to convince me to buy an Albert Nipon dress all at the same time. The breakfast was delicious, she got an A on the exam and she closed the sale.

We met in school when we were 12 and have been close friends ever since. She was whip smart, very funny and gave great advice. I will miss her terribly.

Sending our deepest sympathy to Nicky and the entire Bluestein family. Dr. Bluestein was a remarkably interesting woman, it was a privilege to have known her.

I am saddened to lose such a kind and caring friend. Our years go back to when we were 15 and never once on my trips home
has she not made time to see me , even when she was in med school and residency.
So caring that once we were at dinner and she received a call from a patient who could not find her contact in her eye. We left, opened her office to take care of the situation and the patient was so grateful. She cared about her patients as she did her friends, and especially her family. Ettaleah was one of a kind---brilliant, fun to be around and loyal.
Greg and I will miss her and pray for comfort at this difficult time for Nicky, Scott, Ryan, Brett and their families and also to Judy and Billy and their family.

What a beautiful caring soul! I was a patient of hers for almost 20 years and one of her last patients to be seen the day she officially closed her office in December. Over the years, our doctor/patient relationship became more of a friendship. I was blessed to have known her and my heart aches. Prayers for the Bluestein family...she was truly a treasure!

I am so sorry for the loss that surprised me. May she RIP and her memory be a blessing to all that knew and loved her. Going to Rivers with her brought many memories back to me.Nicky, I know that feeling as I have lost two partners, the last one year ago. My heart goes out to the whole family.

Prayers and deepest sympathy to Nickie and the Bluestein families.

What an interesting and amazing life story for a wonderful woman. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God give you comfort and peace during this time. I have enjoyed working for Dr. B for 9 years. She was such an amazing person and so glad to have made so many wonderful memories with her. She was such an amazing person inside and out. She will be missed dearly.

I am so sorry for the sudden loss of Dr. Bluestein. She was a great provider and I enjoyed working with her everyday. I will keep the Bluestein Family in my thoughts and prayer!!

My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Dr. B was an amazing boss. She always made me laugh and definitely kept me on my toes. I miss working for her. Her quirky way of doing things. I miss seeing her sitting patiently in the halls of our office for her turn to go into the exam rooms. Or the many times she would sit in her office in the dark, and when I would come in and turn on the lights, she would say..."oh now that's better"...lol. She was definitely "one of a kind."
I will defiantly miss her.
Rest in Peace Dr. B <3

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many find me worries of her. She was such an incredible lady/ and so kind and generous. Ettaleah will be so dearly missed.

So sad to hear the news of the death of Ettaleah. Such a sweet and gifted person. Our condolences to her beloved husband, Nicky, and to her dear sister, Judy. We have the best of memories, going back to high school at Rivers. Helene and Eric Scharff
