LILLIAN ROSENBERG Our lives changed forever on August 21, 2006 with the sudden loss of a kind and gentle soul, our mother and baba Lillian Rosenberg. Funeral services were held August 23, 2006 at the Etz Chayim, with Rabbi Balzer officiating. Pallbearers were Reese Feder, Daniel Billinkoff, Martin Billinkoff, Marvin Terhoch, Hershie Wayborn and Bruce Granove. Lil was predeceased by her parents Sonia and Harry Kagan; her soul mate and the love of her life Meish; sisters-in-law Sarah Wayborn, Pearl Terhoch; brothers-in-law Kurt Terhoch and Abe Rosenberg as well as nephew Mark Wayborn. She will be greatly missed by her beloved children, Ricki and Alex Feder, Mitchell and Sandra Rosenberg; cherished grandchildren, Saucha and Reese Feder, Madison, Samantha and Mckenzie Rosenberg. She is also survived by her Aunt Luba Kleiman; sisters-in-law Pearl Globerman, Rochelle Neuringer; brothers-in-law Sheldon Neuringer and Alex Wayborn, as well as many nieces and nephews. Lil was born June 3, 1932 to Sonia and Harry Kagan and had a happy and memorable childhood centered around a loving family during her early life growing up on Manitoba Avenue. After graduating high school and finishing one year at United College our mother married our dad the love of her life. Together they partnered in love, life and business. Mom's happiness centered on her husband and children through her love, devotion and sacrifice. She raised her family with love, respect and instilled Jewish values. Her legacy will be filled with memories of holiday meals, her infamous marshmallow rolls and cakes, bubblegum for her grandchildren, lots of beautiful dishes, crystal and serving pieces for her girls. Mom had a passion for not only her family but for her expansive social life which revolved around her many friends and extended family. She valued her Massada Group of life long friends to which she was secretary for over 25 years. Lil enjoyed the friendships she made with all the walkers she met in the mall each morning. Lil cherished all her social events which included: Saturday lunches with the girls, Saturday night at the movies, playing pan, going to the ballet, as well as the many lunch dates she looked so forward to. We are forever grateful to her many friends for never leaving her out and for never forgetting about her. We feel blessed with the mother and Baba she has always been, her spirit will be with us always. She will be remembered for the kind, sweet and very gentle soul she was. We know she is now united with her soul mate, our dad. Mom rest in peace. You will not be forgotten and you will be loved always. Flowers are gratefully declined and if so desired a tribute to a charity of one's choice in Lil's memory would be very much appreciated.
