Isaacs, Etta
Etta Isaacs of the Esplanade, White Plains, age 103, died peacefully with her family by her side. Born in Brooklyn, New York to Benjamin and Sarah Mintzer, one of 6 sisters, Etta was a crackerjack bookkeeper and small business owner. She was strong-minded and full of fun--a true original. Beloved mother of Madeline Zevon (Sandy) and Dorothy Feldman (Joe). Admired and loved by 5 grandchildren, Paul, Danny (Holly) and Lawrence (Jennifer) Zevon, and Andy (Line) and Eileen Feldman, and by 8 great-grandchildren, Benjamin, Hannah, Celia and Elli Zevon, and Julien, Emily, Marc and Daniel Feldman. She was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Richard L. Isaacs, and by all 5 of her sisters. In extreme old age she was blessed to have been cared for by kindhearted aides, including Ingrid Nisbett, Delta and Yvonne Smith, and by the staff at the Esplanade. Funeral service at Congregation Kol Ami, White Plains, 11am Wednesday. Family will receive visitors at 17 Dupont Avenue, White Plains, Wednesday from 4pm to 9pm, and Thursday from 12 pm to 9 pm.

I remember Aunt Etta and the summer days I spent visiting Queens. Rest in Peace Aunt Etta. She was ahead of her time in nutrition.
