SYBIL OFFEN
passed away Feb.
19, 2023. She was
born in Harlem,
New York, in
1936 and came to
Detroit in 1939.
The remarkable Sybil Offen
was a proud feminist and
activist for many causes,
including civil rights, voting
rights, mental health, Detroit
Jews for Justice, the Plymouth
Democratic Club,
Affirmations and more.
Very involved in politics
since the 1960s, Sybil was a
precinct delegate and worked
on the campaigns of Coleman
Young (who appointed
her to the Human Rights
Commission), Dana Nessel
and many others. She was
well known in the Michigan
Democratic party. Sybil was
funny, fearless, and a source
of strength and inspiration for
many. She told it like it was,
like it or not.
Sybil is survived by her
sons, Jay Offen (Dr. Leslee
Emerson) and Michael Offen
(Meryl); her granddogs, Baxter
and Micky; nieces, nephews,
cousins, and many wonderful
friends who were a huge part
of Sybil’s life.
A memorial took place on
Thursday, March 2, at the
Congregation for Humanistic
Judaism of Metro Detroit.
Rabbi Jeffrey Falick officiated.
It is suggested that those
who wish to further honor the
memory of Sybil Offen may do
so by making a contribution
to the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society, PO Box 772395,
Detroit, MI 48277-2395, www.
lls.org/mi-in; or to a charity of
one’s choice.
