Mavis Zuckerman

Mavis Scribner Zuckerman passed away on Wednesday July 8th. Mavis was born in Eupora, Mississippi on May 29, 1928 to Paul and Alma Scribner. She was a loving wife and mother and an amazing woman. Mavis loved to cook and was happiest when she had a house full of friends and family that she could feed and entertain. Everyone was always welcome at her table and in her home and there was always room for more. Mavis also loved spending time in her patio garden. She filled it every year with beautiful flowers and plants. You could always find something new growing along the whimsical frog figures she loved to collect. Mavis was a dedicated member of Temple Israel for the past 60 years. As a committed member of the Temple Israel Sisterhood, she served as president of the Temple Israel charity Salon Circle on three separate occasions for a total of twelve years. The charity honored her in 1999 with the Volunteer of the Year award.
