Elaine Friedman nee Becker, age 99. Born September 7, 1923. Loving wife of 67 years of the late Jack Friedman. Cherished mother of Sheldon (Debi Kozeny) Friedman and the late Marlene Friedman. Dear sister of the late Dave (Herta) Becker and the late Miriam Becker. Loved by family, friends, and neighbors (especially Elena and Barbie - who thought of her as family). Cared for with dignity and tenderness by Pio and John. Elaine had an active and fulfilling life.
