Lotty was loved by all who knew her. She was born on May 9, 1924 in Offenbach, Germany to Joseph and Bertha Hirschhorn, where she lived until 1938, when she immigrated to New York with her family. She was happily married to David Hakim for 60 years until he preceded her in death in 2008.
She was cherished and is remembered by her son Robert and his wife Dawn Hakim(Ratner) of Los Gatos, California, and daughters Daryll Taylor of Carlsbad, California and Joyce Vogler, of St. Augustine, Florida, her grandchildren, Amy Vogler, Michael Vogler, Annamarie Dunn. She cherished the time with her grandson Jake Hakim and great grandson Nicholas Vogler.
Lotty graduated and worked as a Dental Hygienist in New York. After David joined the United States State Department, they spent several decades in diplomatic service to the United States in Asia, Australia and South America. They retired to San Diego in 1975 and later moved to San Jose to be near their children. They adapted quickly to the San Jose area due to family and the wonderful people in the Villages Community.
Lotty loved to paint in her youth and enjoyed ballet and classical music. She played in several bridge and MahJong groups and attended the Villages Hadassah, Brandeis Women's Group and volunteered for the Villages Medical Association.
Lotty will be remembered by family and friends as sincere, genuine, loving, compassionate and gentle. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Lotty may be made to Hadassah.
