LILA ROSS Obituary

ROSS--Lila M., died peacefully at home on December 26, 2017. She was extremely beautiful with a tremendous flair for style. She was as elegant as she was beautiful. She was passionate about fashion, design, and decorating. She was a smart, sophisticated, and poised woman. She was the quintessential matriarch who adored her family. She was the cherished wife of Arnold, who predeceased her in 2014, mother of John, Catherine, Norman and daughter-in-law Barbara, adored and adoring grandmother of Alex, Nathan, Justin and Jordan. She was a best friend to her sister, Hazel Leben. She leaves her beloved nephew Norman Leben, his wife Lesley, and their children, Ariel and Gabe. Lastly, she is survived by nieces, nephews and cousins who she loved dearly. Lila will be profoundly missed and will forever be in our hearts. Donations can be made in her memory to the Alzheimer's Association and to the Visiting Nurse Services of New York, Hospice and Palliative Care.
