Lucille Orzach Obituary
She is survived by two daughters, Dr. Robin Scherm in Ulster County, NY, and by Adi Gevins and her husband, Michael Couzens, in Oakland, CA. An exemplary homemaker, mother and community activist, Lucille returned to school after the children were grown, and pursued a BA and MFA at C.W. Post College. She taught art practice and history, and was admired widely for her prolific life-long projects in painting, sculpture, collage and sketches. She moved with Jack to Longboat Key, Florida, and after Jack died in 1999 she spent summers in Pittsfield, MA, finally settling in Rhinebeck eight years ago. Her kindness, openness and humor remain in all the places she lived and with all the people she touched.
Tributes may be sent to Berkshire Museum, or Elizabeth Freeman Center, Pittsfield. In memory, please vote on November 3.

I knew Lucille at Mrs. O (Mrs. Orzach) our neighbor of many years. My mother, Carol Fijan Starobin, & Mrs. O did enameling on copper while Robin & I played elaborate scenarios with stuffed animals. She was always elegant & had a witty remark for every ocassion. Her deep appreciation of art, politics & human nature will remain with me always.

Lucille was a one of a kind human being that I admired from the day I met her! She never let her struggles interfere with her mood, she was selfless and loved everyone! She will be greatly missed by the arbor ridge family but will never be forgottenā¤
