In Memoriam: Jay Siskin, Penny Preville President November 18, 2020 (2 comments)
Long Island City, NY—Jay Brian Siskin, husband of designer Penny Preville and president of her eponymous brand, died peacefully on November 15 after battling liver cancer. He was 70.
Siskin was a respected figure in the jewelry industry, helping to propel his wife’s jewelry brand into not only one of the first prominent names in the designer jewelry category, but ultimately to one of the leading brands in the category. In his downtime, he enjoyed golf, meditation, the arts, and making meaningful heartfelt connections with all those he knew. More than anything, he was a caretaker and family man whose greatest joy was putting a smile on the faces of the people he loved, say family members.
Siskin was loving husband, father, and grandfather. Preceded in death by his parents, Betty and Sam, and stepsister Mitzi, he is survived by his wife Penny, sons Skyler and Derek, sister Susan, step-siblings Lynda and Lee, mother-in-law Joyce, daughters-in-law Mara and Ali, grandchildren Brendon, Cameron, Cole, Mylo, and Freddy, and many other family members and friends.
