JULY 27 • 2023 | 71
S
ybil Mintz, 85, of
Boynton Beach, Fla.,
formerly of West
Bloomfield, died July 13,
2023.
Sybil had a lifelong love for
education and loved being
a student and a teacher. She
received a bachelor’s of art in
education and a master’s of
art history from Wayne State
and received a master’s in
fine arts (painting) from the
University of Michigan. She
also made progress on a Ph.D.
program at the University of
Michigan, researching ancient
biblical manuscripts.
She taught art and English
at the elementary school level
and was a popular instructor
of both art and art history at
Wayne State and at numerous
community
colleges.
Sybil was an
incredible artist,
a painter, sculptor
and glass artist.
Her paintings
were accepted
to numerous juried shows,
displayed in many galleries,
and were the focus of several
one-woman shows. Her
paintings adorn the walls
of many homes and offices
throughout the world.
Sybil had a great love for
the State of Israel. She and
Shel made more than 30 trips
to Israel and for many years
spent either the summer
months or six months
in Israel. She was able to
combine her love of Israel
and love of art by spending
summers participating in
archaeological digs and by
living in an artist colony and
painting in Safed.
Most importantly, Sybil
was a lover of family, the glue
that kept a large extended
family together by hosting
all the Jewish holidays and
a nurturer; she was the one
who was always there when
help was needed. She was a
devoted daughter and sister,
an amazing wife, mother,
aunt, grandmother and
friend.
Sybil Mintz was
predeceased by her parents
Saul and Sophie Golden; and
by her brother and sister-
in-law, Michael and Sandy
Mintz.
She is survived by Sheldon
Mintz of Boynton Beach,
her husband of 63 years; by
her devoted daughter, Carla
(Brad) Newman; her loving
son, Rick (Barb) Mintz;
her grandchildren, Jason
Newman, Alana Newman,
Molly Mintz and Jane Mintz;
her sister, Millie (Fred)
Minkow; brother, Jerome
(Linda) Golden; many other
family members and friends.
Contributions may be

A beloved couple, devoted philanthropists and inspiring advocates
of The Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network
Lois and her cherished husband, Paulz’l, spent 66 years together, setting the
example and inspiring everyone they knew to be better versions of
themselves. They embraced caring for the most vulnerable through
generous support of JARC, among many other causes. They and their family
were also stalwart supporters of the Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy
Network. With her passing last week, Lois and Paul are reunited and
togther again. We fondly remember Lois for her everlasting devotion to
Paul, and for her courage, strength, and determination to live life to its
fullest with dignity and grace, always with a smile on her face.
