Lillian Lapides Obituary

Lillian Lapides, of Boca Raton, Florida passed away on Friday, January 19, 2018 at

the age of 99. Lillian was born in Newark NJ on August 30 1918 to Harry and

Bessie Kaplan.  She attended Bragaw Avenue Elementary School and Southside

High School.  She later received a teaching degree from the former Montclair

State College and taught Special Education.  She was active in the arts and served

as a docent at the Newark Museum of Art. She worked with the UNICEF program

for many years and eventually returned to work in the food brokerage industry

before retiring and moving to Florida.  Lillian enjoyed reading and was always

eager to recommend a favorite book.  She was passionate about art and music,

and loved the seaside, particularly Bradley Beach, New Jersey and the South

Florida coastline. In later years Lillian traveled extensively with her devoted

companion, the late Lou Kaplan of Boca Raton and Minneapolis. 

 

She was the loving wife of the late Saul Arons of Hillside, New Jersey.

Later husbands, Morris Schreiner and Harry Lapides, predeceased her.  Her beloved

daughter Janet from her marriage to Morris Schreiner died in 1969.  Her devoted

brothers and sister, Samuel, Eugene and Ruthie, also predeceased her. 

 

Lillian is survived by her loving children from her marriage to Saul Arons, daughter

Susan and her husband Bobby Shand and their children, Ryan and Justin, of

Montecito, California, son Steven of St. Louis, Missouri and son David and his wife

Meri and their children, Samantha and Jason, of McLean, Virginia.  Her love of life

and beautiful smile will be forever cherished by all those who knew and loved her.
