JUDY SILLMAN, 94, of Pacific 
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) 
Giancola, Stephanie Shields 
(Davis Kudlo), Michael Shields, 
and Jason (Cara) Harvey; 
great-grandmother of Ronyn, 
Masyn, Davis and Hazel 
Harvey.
