Lotte was first and foremost a homemaker and children were
the source of her greatest joy. As the children grew up and
went on their own way, she worked in Queens at a delicatessen
owned by family friends. In later years, her husband suffered
severe damage from an accident. She graciously dedicated
herself to attend to all of his personal care. Her gentle and quiet spirit,
compassion, and generosity, will be remembered by all those
who knew her
“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also,
and he praiseth her.” Proverbs 31:28
