The Hat Lady
t Adat Shalom Synagogue, there was a couple that
always sat on the left side, toward the front of the
sanctuary. While people may not have known their
names, everyone knew the 'Hat Lady' — who
never wore the same hat twice.
On Sept. 1, 2001, Anne Heitman of
Southfield, wife of the late Philip Heitman
and the 'Hat Lady' of Adat Shalom, died at
age 88.
Mrs. Helfman had two loves in her life:
her family and her philanthropic work.
Her family knew her as a loving mother,
bubbe and sister — a woman who spoke
her mind and always watched over her six
younger brothers and sisters, no matter
their age.
Mrs. Helfman was a supporter of Adat
Shalom and the State of Israel, as well as
many other charities. The couple were
founding members of Adat Shalom, and
Mrs. Helfman was the first woman on the
board of directors and in 1951, the first
woman on the board of trustees. She was
also the 1950 Sisterhood president, oversee-
ing the building of the main sanctuary.
Mrs. Helfman was a tireless fund-raiser for Israel, giving
boundless energy to Israel Bonds efforts. She was the chair-
woman of the Women's Division of Detroit-Israel Bonds,
1957-1959, and the sponsor chairwoman of Israel Bonds.
She was twice named Woman of Valor for her work, as well
as a member of the Prime Minister's Club, receiving an
award from Prime Minister GOIda Mein
