PATTY FIHMA Obituary

FIHMA--Patty Zeitz, 59, on April 4. Survived by devoted husband Larry, adoring sons Samuel and Max, stepdaughters Robin Levine and Allison Drachman. Beloved daughter of Sidney, sister of Claudia Zeitz Poster and Glenn Zeitz; favorite aunt of Jed, Paige, Hallie, and Elena. Surrounded by dozens of friends to the end, her creative, hilarious, genuine soul touched all: from American University, career at Bloomingdale's and Perry Ellis, Woodcliff Lake, NJ community. Talented merchant, trusted friend, doting mother, she lit up every room; our world is dimmer without her.
