Edith Jonas' Obituary
Edith Leonora Jonas
February 1925 - September 2020
Sister to Stanley H. Rosenfeld,
wife to Nathaniel L. Jonas,
mother to Jeffrey S. Jonas.
She was always active with the Jewish community:
worked for JDC,
Hadassah life member,
Hillcrest Jewish Center sisterhood,
Beth Ami synagogue.
Edie endured countless aches and pains from birth
from a malformed hip.
Many operations enhanced her life: hip replacement,
pacemaker, 'zapping' the kidney cancer.
Her loving and diligent caregivers Colleen, Melissa & Dionne
assured Edie's well being and dignity for
7 years of severe dementia and Alzheimers.
Just like the NYPL library lions where she worked,
Edie's 95 years are a testament to her patience and fortitude.
Preferred charity is the
JDC (the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee)
