Lillian Sarver, a resident of the Detroit metropolitan area and most 
recently Ann Arbor, died on January 18, 2022 at the age of 96.

Lillian was the beloved wife of the late Dr. Sam Sarver. Dear mother of 
Dr. Michael Sarver (Michelle Sarver), Dr. Rosalyn Sarver (Dr. Stephen 
Rosenblum) and Dr. Beverly Sarver (Dr. James O’Donohue). Loving 
grandmother of Aaron Rosenblum, Daniel Rosenblum (Jill), Sarah

Lillian was a dedicated mother and lifelong member of Hadassah. She grew 
up in a large family, surrounded by love, all working in the family hardware 
business, Weider Hardware in Detroit. In the mid-1940s Lillian was named 
Miss Jewish Detroit, an honor she reminded us of frequently. Lillian and 
Sam were married over 50 years. They enjoyed traveling the world, playing 
bridge with their friends, and most of all sharing time with their family.

In Loving Memory
