Margot Herz, 98, of Palm Bay passed away November 7, 2023. Margot was born in Markt Berolzheim, Germany on July 22, 1925 to Lina and Max Levi. She was a Holocaust survivor, having fled Germany with her parents, brother, and grandparents in December of 1938 and moved to New York City.
Margot was a bookkeeper and later a business owner with her husband, Werner. They and their daughter and son moved to Titusville from New Jersey in 1963. Werner died in 2002, and Margot stayed in their home until 2016 when she moved to Palm Bay, where she and Lin bought a home together.
Margot and Werner always welcomed friends and relatives into their home. Margot never forgot a birthday or anniversary of a friend or relative. She was famous for sending cards, frequent letter writing and later keeping in touch with emails.
Margot was a loving, caring daughter, wife, and sister, and a devoted mother to the very end of her life. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Werner, her beloved son, Ray, and dear brother Leo Levi. She is survived by her daughter, Lin Herz of Palm Bay, daughter-in-law Fran Herz of Jacksonville, and grand-dog, Simba.
