YETTA

Sept. 2, 2020. 
Independent 
and witty, Yetta lived alone in 
her own home until almost

Hyman Pomerantz, who had 
fled the Russian pogroms, 
Yetta was a devoted daughter.

mother of Carl Weinstein and 
Joyce Weinstein Begnoche and 
a beloved aunt.
Yetta was an athlete, dancer, 
reader, world-traveler and a 
couple points from the rank of 
life master in bridge. Bringing 
the family together was always 

important to her. Yetta shared 
her love of culture with her 
nieces, influencing her sister 
Norma’
s daughter, Susan, to 
become a playwright and 
writer. Although Yetta carried 
the grief of losing her son in his 
30s, she declared shortly before 
her 100th birthday, “I’
m at 
peace with everything.
”
She was a dedicated 
supporter of the Michigan 
School for the Blind, the 
Farmington Hills Library and 
the Humane Society.

by descendants of her four 
siblings and their spouses who 
predeceased her, Harry (Ruth) 
Pomerantz, Jack (Sally)

Keith (Sonia) Pomeroy, Denise 
(Bill) Pomeroy Zolbert, Ivy and
