Soul
of blessed memory
of her life, Seymour Vander,
as a student at University of
Michigan in 1952. Together
they had five children and
over the years added several
grandchildren and great-
grandchildren.
Family meant the absolute
world to Isabel, and her
most joyful times were spent
surrounded by her loving
family for holiday celebrations
or just the usual dining out
adventures.
She always took great
delight in such simple
pleasures as daily phone
conversations with family and
friends, catching up on life
events of those near and far.
Isabel also took great pride in
her involvement as an original
member of the Birmingham
Temple and her association
with Rabbi Sherwin Wine.
Isabel was the beloved
wife of Seymour for 51
years before his passing in
2004. She was the loving
mother of Deborah Vander,
Lauren Rickman, Kathryn
Vander, Elizabeth (Libby)
Crawford and James. She
was also loved by devoted
relatives-in-law, Joanne
Scherf, Reuben Rickman and
Jeffrey Crawford. She was the
cherished grandmother of
Michael (Maureen), Matthew
(Rachel) and Stephanie (Kyle)
Crawford, Benjamin (Kate)
and Jessica Vander (children
of Annette Chang), Caroline,
William and Eliza Vander
(children of Janice Gault);
great-grandmother (GiGi) of
Lars and Lennox Crawford.
In addition, Isabel highly
valued her deep and abiding
friendships and will be greatly
missed by those who knew
and loved her.
Interment was held at
Adat Shalom Memorial
Park Cemetery in Livonia.
Contributions may be made
