LEVY, Ethel (nee KESSLER) December 15, 1925 – January 2, 2021 Ethel Levy (nee Kessler) passed away on January 2, 2021 at Shalom Village of complications from COVID-19. She was 95, having just reached that milestone December 14th or 15th, depending on whom you asked.
She was affable, loved to laugh and a pretty good cook in her day. In no particular order, she loved bingo, ice cream, Family Feud, card games, her children Helaine, Arlyn and Gary (most of the time), her grandchildren Zachary and Noah (all of the time), her kindred dogs Lucy, Charlie and Mulder (some of the time), and food that wasn’t too cold, too salty, too mushy or too slow in coming. She enjoyed long aimless drives in the country, a habit she got into with our late father, Syd.
She had a lot of friends, all of whom she outlived, which made her later years lonelier. She wasn’t very tech savvy, to which we, who received the late-night phone calls about her cable TV going off-line, can attest. But how many 95-year-olds are? Some things you just overlook. She will be missed, thought about often, laughed over, cried over and always, when the subject is chicken soup, the gold standard. We wish her a peaceful and loving journey.
