OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

58 | JUNE 8 • 2023 

A

ron M. Blumenthal, 
91, of Southfield, 
died May 30, 2023. 
He was a beloved dentist in 
Windsor, Ontario; but, above 
all, he was a devoted husband, 
father and grandfather. 
Born Feb. 26, 1932, in a 
small town in Northeastern 
Romania, Aron 
was the youngest 
of six children 
of Meir and 
Chaya Sarah 
Blumenthal. He 
was the baby of 
the family, 13 
years younger 
than his next 
oldest sibling. 
During the 
Holocaust, 
Aron and many of his family 
members survived the 
concentration work camp 
called Transnistria. They were 
able to avoid capture for a 
while by hiding out in a rural 
area in what is now Ukraine. 
Aron’s mother and sisters 
needed to always remain in 
hiding or were at risk of being 
raped by soldiers. Aron, who 
was no more than 13 at the 
time, knew a few Russian 
words, posed as a Russian 
boy and would manage to 
find food for his mom to 
prepare for the family even if 
it only meant finding rotten 
potatoes. These early survivor 
skills served him well in life. 
His entire immediate family 
survived the Holocaust thanks 
to Aron’s efforts.
He met his wife, Rodica, in 
1964 outside of a synagogue 
and three months later they 
were married. Aron’s dream 
was to emigrate to America, 
and he found a way by 
declaring refugee status in 
Italy. The organization called 

Hebrew Immigrant Aid 
Society helped him achieve 
his dream and located a foster 
family in Detroit that would 
help Aron and Rodica get 
settled. When they arrived in 
Detroit, Rodica was pregnant; 
and they didn’t know any 
English or have any family or 
friends. Aron was a dentist in 
Romania before fleeing to Italy 
and was offered a job working 
as a dental technician. He 
worked long hours, studied 
English in the evenings and 
ultimately got accepted to a 
dental school in Detroit. 
He learned of a dental 
practice for sale in Windsor 
and eventually, through hard 
work and many long hours, 
he was able to purchase it. 
He practiced dentistry until 
age 85. He shared his skills 
and knowledge with dental 
hygienist students. He also 
served as a dental professor at 
St. Clair College in Windsor, a 
position and responsibility he 
truly cherished.
He also was a proud 
member of the Alpha Omega 
Dental Fraternity and 
rarely missed their annual 
international meetings. 
Dr. Blumenthal is survived 
by his wife of 61 years, Rodica 
Blumenthal; daughter, Ellyn 
Levine; grandchildren, Robert 
and Alyssa Levine; many 
loving nieces, nephews, other 
loving family members and 
friends. 
He was the dedicated 
brother to his late siblings, 
Leon, Zigmund, Lora, Etta and 
Mina. 
Interment was at Clover Hill 
Park Cemetery. Contributions 
may be made to the HIAS 
organization or to a charity of 
one’s choice. Arrangements by 
Ira Kaufman Chapel.
