Lillian Levy Obituary

Lillian (Lil) Levy, 96, of Boca Raton, Fla., and formerly of Scranton, died Monday morning at Boca Raton Regional Hospital in Florida. She was preceded in death by her husband, Benjamin E. Levy, in 1997.

Born in Kingston, Pa., daughter of the late Nathan and Ethel Getz Weinstein, Lil led a full life that was characterized by her beauty and charm, her warm, energetic personality and her zest for life. To her friends, she had a charismatic appeal that allowed her to easily form friendships in so many different circles. To her children, she played such a critical role not only in enabling and shaping their lives, but those of future generations as well. Lil's grandchildren revered the time they spent with her and she always served as a role model to teach them to treat people with grace and kindness.
