CLARA SILBER, 98, of
Southfield, died Sept. 21,
2012.
After nearly a cen-
tury of living, through
the lean years of the
Depression, working to
help support her fam-
Silber
ily, meeting the love of
her life and helping to build a successful
wholesale business in Detroit with him,
raising a family, watching with pride as
children, grandchildren and great-grand-
children filled her life with love and pur-
pose, Clara Silber died peacefully.
Clara Brodsky was born in 1914, in
Worcester, Mass. Her family relocated
to Detroit while she was still a child. As
a young woman, Clara developed acu-
men for numbers and business and soon
became a bookkeeper while still in her
late teens. Then she met a bandleader. The
dashing Fred Silber and the beautiful Clara
Brodsky made a striking pair — not just in
the late 1930s, but for the next 65 years.
They raised son, Dennis, and daughter,
Sandra, and watched grandchildren and
great-grandchildren bless their lives.
Mrs. Silber remained active and vibrant
well into her 90s, driving until she was 97
and was mentally sharp as ever up until
her last day, when she decided after nearly
a century of a beautiful life, to sleep. She
did it her way.
Mrs. Silber is survived by her daughter,
Sandra Samson of Farmington Hills; son and
daughter-in-law, Dennis and Debbie Silber
of Boca Raton, Fla.; grandchildren, Sheri
(David) Whiteman, Jodi (Ken) Korotkin,
Tony Silber, Elana (Gaz) Green, Eric
(Miranda) Samson; great-grandchildren, Ari,
Rachel, Alex, Jessica, Natalie, Jamie and Julia.
She is also survived by many loving nieces,
nephews, other family members and friends.
Mrs. Silber was the beloved wife of the
late Fred Silber; the mother-in-law of the late
Fred Samson; the sister of the late Morrie
Brodsky and the late Emma Friedman.
Contributions may be made to Jewish
Hospice and Chaplaincy Network.
Interment took place at Machpelah
Cemetery in Ferndale. Arrangements by
Dorfman Chapel.
