Palisades, Calif., died June 9,
2020.
She was born on Nov. 11,
1925, in Detroit to David and
Rose (Kaplan) Spilkin and
was the baby sister of six girls:
June, Dora, Anne, Mary and
Shirley and close sister-in-law of
Maurine Sillman.
Judy loved entertaining her
large extended family of nieces,
nephews and their families as
well as her lifelong WAGAN
friends and dear Florida friends.
She was a marvelous cook,
baker and flower arranger, an
avid tennis, golf and bridge
player. Judy loved to give advice
but never required you to take
it. She loved to laugh at and tell
jokes and her belief was: “
As
long as I still have a sense of
humor, it’
s a good day.
”
She was well known in
Detroit for her famous fish
parties, co-hosted with Shirl,
that served bass and perch
caught by Jerry and Sid. Her
abundantly stocked pantry was
always available for takeouts,
long after her daughters moved
out. She baked for weeks and
froze brownies, coffee cake and
apricot squares, which were for
“
company only.
”
The family all benefitted from
and treasure her gifts of kind-
ness, compassion, generosity,
service to others, unconditional
love and laughter. All of her
daughters’
friends were wel-
comed and treated like part of
the family They all feel they hit
the jackpot with Judy.
Mrs. Sillman was the beloved
wife of Jerry Sillman; cher-
ished mother of Donna (Bob)
Shields, JoAnne Sillman and
Catherine (Ramón) Ramos;
devoted grandmother of
Arielle Ramos, Jamie (Nick)
