Irma Koff Obituary

KOFF - Irma, 1922 - 2007 Irma passed away peacefully on Monday, December 3rd. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Irving, parents Reba and Louis Snyder, and brother Philip. She is survived by her children: Stephen (Bunny), Douglas (Kris), and Wayne (Eileen); her adored grandchildren: Jonathan (Camille), Ashley, Corey, Russell, Erica, Ian, Evan and Keenan. Her great-grandchildren are Austin Irving and Juliet Irma. Dear relatives and friends will miss her lively conversation, passion for literature and theatre, good food and wine and her formidable intellect. She set the bar as woman, wife, mother and grandmother so high that we will spend our own lives trying to meet her nearly impossible standards. Donations may be made to the Koff fund at the Long Beach Public Library (111 W Park Ave. 11561) or the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, P.O. Box 515, Northampton, MA. 01061-0515; www.macular.org
