Lola

(Lipszyc)

Swede

Obituary

Lola Lipscyz Swede passed away on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 due to complications of COVID and chronic illness. Left to cherish her memory are daughters Renata Lantos (Joseph) of Portland, CT, Helen Swede of West Hartford, CT, Sari L. Swede (Neil Grossman) of Arcata, CA, Marci Jan Swede (Bruce Taillon) of Naperville, IL; four beloved grandchildren, Paul, Daniel, Aaron, and Katherine, and four beloved great-grandchildren, Benjamin, Abigail, Max, and Julia. Lola was a Holocaust survivor from Łódź, Poland who was predeceased by her parents and 9 siblings, five of whom perished in the Shoah. Defying all odds, with her beloved husband of 66 years, David, also a Holocaust survivor from Łódź, they built a new life together of Love and Tikun Olam. Lola was dedicated to justice and preserving the memory of those lost to the Shoah. She served as co-founder and president of the Ima Club (Ima means “mother” in Hebrew), which raised funds to help war orphans like herself and as President of Hadassah, in Buffalo, NY. Lola contributed oral history interviews to Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Institute and the Holocaust Resource Center of Buffalo, both archived at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. A private burial service took place at Congregation Beth Israel Cemetery in Avon, CT on Monday, January 4. Donations in Lola Swede’s memory may be made to Hadassah at https://www.hadassah.org/ways-to-give/
