entertaining and giving dinner 
parties at home. Lillian was a 
professional gourmet cook and 
baker known for her delecta-
ble dishes.
She loved to garden and 
was very knowledgeable about 
many plants and trees. It 
wasn’
t unusual for a friend of 
hers to come home to a beau-
tiful arrangement of colorful 
flowers and trailing vines by 
her front door.
Lillian and Larry were very 
philanthropic and charitable 
in the Detroit area and Israel. 
They were founding members 
of the first Temple Israel on 
Manderson in Detroit in 1950 
and continued support to the 
present day. Lillian helped 
initiate a bereavement group 
and acted as the main facili-
tator who counseled grieving 
members.
She could be found for 
many years on a Friday night 

at the temple’
s Oneg Shabbat, 
pouring punch for thirsty con-
gregants. 
A member of the DIA, 
Jewish Federation, Women’
s 
American ORT, the Holocaust 
Museum and Hadassah, 
Lillian was always happy to 
serve when called upon.
She was a strong force in her 
family and had an amazing 
memory, remembering people 
and places, reading up on cur-
rent events daily and listening 
to world news. She will be 
dearly missed by her children, 
grandchildren, great-grand-
children and many nieces and 
nephews. She had much love 
for her two very devoted care-
givers, Remi and Marylou.
