HELEN KOTLER Obituary

KOTLER, HELEN. Miami Jewish Health Systems deeply mourns the loss of long time community philanthropist Helen Kotler. Helen moved to Miami Beach in 1966 with her husband Meyer, of blessed memory. They established M. Kotler Realty in Surfside in 1973. Helen named her husband a FOUNDER in treasured memory at Miami Jewish Health Systems in 2003. A Pennsylvania native, Helen was the first woman president of Temple Beth Sholom on Miami Beach, was Bat Mitzvah at the age of 68, and was active in numerous charities, including Miami Jewish Health Systems. Her granddaughter, Jacquelyn Packar, was an MJHS teen volunteer award recipient. Helen is survived by her four daughters, Sharlane Packar, Judith Broad, Adrienne Kutner and Rae Lynne Kotler, five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. She will be greatly missed by the staff and leaders of MJHS. May her memory be a blessing to us all. We wish the Kotler family comfort in their time of loss. Signed: Stephen H. Cypen, Chairman of the Board; and Jeffrey P. Freimark, President & Chief Executive Officer. View this Guest Book at www. MiamiHerald.com/obituaries.

I often think of your family and your Mom with such warmth and fondness. We had great times growing up and your Mom always welcomed us into your home with open arms and genuine happiness. Her smile on her mouth and in her eyes is what I recall the most.

My thought and prayers are with you all. When i think of the word "classy" your mom comes to my mind. A wonderful person who am I sure did not have any enemies in this world only smiles for all.
