Zelda Epstein

Zelda met her beloved husband Harry (“Hesh”) at a dance in Manhattan and the rest is history. They married on September 11, 1954. With two daughters, Rikki Susan and Randi, their family was complete.

While her husband worked all day, Zelda enjoyed her role as a homemaker. When her children were in elementary school, she served as the ‘class mother’ and chaperoned all of their field trips. She also loved to volunteer, serving as President of the Sisterhood at Temple Menorah in Little Neck. When Rikki and Randi went off to college, she took a job as a bookkeeper in the garment center.

After living in Little Neck, New York for many years, Zelda and Hesh retired to Boca Raton, Florida in 1991. In the warm Florida sunshine, she became active in the Boca Lago community, volunteering at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, serving as President of the Vistas at Boca Lago, spending time in the Citizen Observer Patrol (COP) program to safeguard her community, and leading various community landscaping committees.

Zelda was an expert knitter and made beautiful afghans and sweaters for her family and friends that they cherish.
