Lynn Fishman

Lynn Fishman, nee Kleinberg, 83.

Beloved wife of the late Alan E. Fishman. Loving father of Brad (Sherri) Fishman, Ira (Rebecca) Fishman and Jamie Bush. Proud grandmother of Zachary (Hanna), Jacob, Ethan, Victoria and Adam Fishman, Max Bush, Stephanie (Daniel) Schwin, nee Bush and Eli Bush. Adored sister of the late Merle (Ronald) Swislow. Dear brother-in-law of the late David (Rochelle) Fishman. Will be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

She was born in Chicago, Illinois to Dorothy and Milton Kleinberg. She graduated from South Shore High School. Lynn married her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Alan E. Fishman, her husband for over 60 years. She was a devoted Mother, Bubbie, Aunt, Cousin and a friend to all who knew her and the glue that held the family together.

As the beloved matriarch of the Fishman family, she prided herself on creating memorable family traditions that will live on in our hearts forever. From hosting huge second day Rosh Hashana dinners and Hannukah parties, Bubbie did it all and then some to make sure everyone especially her eight grandchildren were happy and felt her love. She cherished her time with her forever love, Alan, their children and grandchildren and made sure they went out-of-their way to be present. That meant being an official spectator at most sporting events, dance recitals and graduations and even taking a cross-country road trip to visit their grandchildren in college. We all adored her for going over and above to be present. She first was an active member of Hillcrest Country Club and Weston Hills Country Club in Weston, FL and then moved to Hunter's Run Country Club in Boynton Beach, where she resided with Alan and surrounded by countless close friends.
