DIANA LAPIDUZ HELMAN, 51, of
Ann Arbor, died May 13, 2008.
She was born and grew up in
Rosario, Argentina, later moving
to Israel as a young woman. She
attended University of Haifa, eventu-
ally earning a master of arts in fine
arts education. There she married
Yossi, whom she had met while still
in high school in Argentina.
Mrs. Helman's chief joy was her
family. They were the center of her
life and she the anchor that kept
them safe. She was outstanding in
her kindness and generosity. People
never called when they needed help
because she'd call them first, doing
what it took to support and help. She
always made it look easy. She had
a zest for life, a sly sense of humor
and a beautiful smile that will be
forever missed.
Mrs. Helman is survived by her
husband, Dr. Joseph Heiman (Yossi);
daughters, Sari, Abigail and Mikky;
parents, Marcos and Teresa Lapiduz
of Argentina; brother, Oscar Lapiduz
of Israel.
Contributions may be made in
to the American Friends of Magen
David Adorn, 3175 Commercial
Ave., #101, Northbrook, IL 60062.
Services and interment at Beth
Israel Garden in Arborcrest in Ann
Arbor. Arrangements by Hebrew
Memorial Chapel.

They were
wonderful':

We hear kind words consistently. We're proud that
people feel comfortable enough with us to openly tell
us how much they appreciate what we did for them.
In fact, it's this appreciation that drives us to offer the
very best in comfort, compassion and service.
