She attended Marshall High School,
where she gained lifelong friends as well
as the affectionate nickname “Tiz.” She
went on to graduate from the University
of Michigan in 1948, where she was a lit-
erature and arts major and active in the
university’s speech and theater program.
While attending Michigan, Tiz met fel-
low student and U.S. Army veteran Sid
Pollick in a Shakespeare class, when Sid
strategically asked if he could borrow a
pencil. Tiz and Sid married in 1949 and
resided in Ann Arbor while Sid com-
pleted U-M Law School.
Tiz and Sid shared a wonderful love
story and marriage for 56 years until
his death in 2005. They raised three
children in Huntington Woods, Mark,
John and Missy, each of whom became
lawyers.
Tiz performed in local community
theater, volunteered for Democratic
causes and served as precinct delegate.
She did post-graduate studies in educa-
tion but decided to forego a career to be
a full-time homemaker for her husband
and children.
Tiz was a talented classical pianist,

gourmet cook, loved books, music,
and the arts, spoke fluent Yiddish and,
together with Sid, was an avid golfer and
sports fan, particularly of the University
of Michigan Wolverines. Her primary
love was her family and that love was
reciprocated throughout her extended
Stulberg and Cavitch families.
Tiz will be remembered for her ele-
gant style, humor and grace, and will be
greatly missed by all.
Mrs. Pollick was the cherished mother
of Mark (Lori) Pollick, John (Yuan)
Pollick and Marissa (Elizabeth Ritt)
Pollick; adoring grandmother of Lauren
Pollick, Jeffrey Pollick, Rebecca Pollick
and Thomas Pollick; sister-in-law of
Jackie (the late Zolman) Cavitch and
Sue Stulberg. She is also survived by
many loving nieces and nephews.
She was the beloved wife for 56 years
of the late Sidney Pollick; the devoted
daughter of the late Max and the late
Rebecca Stulberg; sister of the late
Julius, Morris and Sam Stulberg; sister-
in-law of the late Esther, Charlotte and
