KESTENBAUM, Henrietta "Henny" - Born July 9, 1932 Czechoslovakia, died September 23, 2021.
Treasured wife the the late Mickey Kestenbaum z"l.
Beloved mother and mother-in-law of Naomi Kestenbaum and Bobby Markovits, Deborah (Debi) Kestenbaum and Joel Katz.
Adored Oma to Adam, Oren, and Nathaniel Katz, and Hannah and Ezra Markovits.
Sister to Iby Gluck z"l, Hedi Resnick, and Oskar Rajsky, and dear sister-in-law to Esterita Rajsky.
She will be missed by her extended family, for whom she was a pivotal figure, as well as a large (and growing) group of friends, walking companions, bridge partners, book club members, and the many others whose lives she touched with her warmth, intelligence and hospitality.
A survivor of the Holocaust, she nevertheless lived her life with boundless optimism and joy that was an inspiration to all. She was an avid traveller, and COVID constrained where she could venture. But with typical indomitable positivity she found alleyways and neighbourhoods to explore, zoom book clubs to join, and virtual art tours and university courses to challenge her intellect and curiosity.
She never stopped embracing all that life had to offer. May her memory be for a blessing.
A Family graveside service will be held on Sunday, September 26, 2021. Shiva details to follow.
