Lenore Klein Obituary
May 29, 2022
Aventura, Florida - It is with great sadness that Lenore "Lee" Klein passed away on May 29, 2022. Predeceased by husband Norman Klein; parents Vera and Samuel Noble; sisters Eunice Dunne and Carol Bauman; and nephew Jeffrey Bauman. Lee is survived by her adoring daughter Mindy (Larry Gould); loving granddaughter Harley (Daniel Shunfenthal); nieces Irene (Paul Lazarus); Denise (Edward Smith); Cheryl Dunne; Laurie Bauman, nephews Steven Bauman and Dr. Richard Bauman, along with many great nieces and nephews.
Lee's calling in life was her dedication to children afflicted with dreaded cancer. In 1965, Lee co-founded the Deed Club, which transitioned into the Children's Cancer Caring Center, Inc., a total care pediatric oncology center where Lee served as President and Chairman. Lee never received any compensation for her years of endless love and devotion to the thousands of young patients
Lee received many awards and recognition over the years including the National Jefferson Award in the category of Greatest Public Service benefiting local communities; the President Volunteer Action Award presented in Washington, DC by then President George HW Bush; the Real Women Real Lives Spotlight Award; the Miracle Makers Award; Women Who Make A Difference Award; the Weizman Institute of Science's Women of Vision Award; WPLG's Heart of South Florida Award; Woman of the Year Award and was written into the Congressional Records in Washington
Of all of Lee's awards, what meant the most to her was to see "her kids" beat cancer and become successful healthy adults, many becoming parents themselves.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Live Like Bella Childhood Cancer Foundation for the Lee Klein Children's Cancer Center Fund at www.LiveLikeBella.org.

I´ll never forget the first time we met Lee Klein. She was a light that shown in our time of darkness. She took us by our hands and continued to Care for our baby boy 18 months old along with the wonderful doctors that cured him and is now 46yrs old and happily married with 3 daughters and a terrific career. We can´t begin to thank your mom for being that light and taking such great care of us as a family. We´ve never forgot you ever and never will forget you. May Our God hold you in the palm of His hands until we meet again Our lives would not have been the same without you! Much love and gratitude, Kathleen Kennedy/James (Jim)

In 1997 my son Sanford was diagnosed with a series stage for children´s cancer. We met Lee Klein at that time. She and her organization provided us with assistance but I can never thank her enough for. We will be eternally grateful. May her memory be for a blessing.

My "Angel" can not be said enough when remembering this one-of-a-kind sole. She is an Angel on earth sent to protect all of our beautiful children. She will always have a special place in my heart for giving back life to my son. Because of her, I have had 38 wonderful years of loving him. Thank you for Caring! I Love You, Lee.
