Hannah was born on March 23, 1948 to Joshua Mordkhe Lijek and Yetta Jacobowicz Lijek in Germany. With the assistance of HIAS, the three of them immigrated to the United States in 1950, after which Hannah’s two brothers, Harvey and Martin, were born. A few years after their arrival in the US, the family settled in New York City.
Hannah wed Owen Grayson in 1975, and they went on to have two beloved children, Ronnie and Joel.
Hannah excelled at propping up her family and supporting them through the many passions and difficulties of their lives and made it her mission to improve the lives of others. She acted as the glue for an extended family that spanned the globe, all of whom will miss her greatly.
Hannah was predeceased by her mother, Yetta, her father, Joshua, and husband Owen, who unexpectedly died of Covid earlier this year. She is survived by her sons, Ronnie and Joel, her brothers, Harvey and Martin, four grandchildren whom she adored, Yvette, Jayce, Caroline, and Carlos, as well as two nieces, Rebeccah and Amelita.
The family kindly requests that notes are sent to Parkside Memorial Chapel, 114-03 Queens Blvd Forest Hills, NY 11375
