MOSS MENDELSOHN
Frances “Fran” Mendelsohn (nee Forstater),
widow of Dr. Eugene (Bud) Mendelsohn, OB-
GYN, mother of five, beloved mother-in-law,
grandmother of fifteen (one of whom prede-
ceased her), and great grandmother of
twelve, died of natural causes at the age of 96
on April 16, 2020. Fran was born in Phil-
adelphia on November 8, 1923 into the lov-
ing family of Anna and Isaac Forstater and
raised above their corner soda fountain /
candy store at the corner of 30th and Whar-
ton in Grey’s Ferry with her older siblings
Herman, Gertrude, and Morris and her little
brother Sidney. A graduate of South Phil-
adelphia High School and the School of In-
dustrial Art, Fran was a lifelong artist whose
home was filled with her original watercolors.

Fran met Bud on a blind date while she was
in art school and Bud was in medical school
at Penn. Prompted by his new infatuation
with Anna and Isaac’s daughter and his old
love of their ice cream, Bud asked Fran to
marry him on their second date. Prior to their
marriage in 1947, Fran worked as a freelance
artist and decorator at Fay Forman, an ex-
clusive Philadelphia nursery and furniture
boutique. After stints in Bronx, NY, Lafayette,
IN, and Vienna, Austria, Fran and Bud re-
turned to Bud’s hometown of Reading and
settled with their three children Jay, Louise,
and Barbara into suburban life in Pennside,
where Steve and Elaine were added. Raised in
a diverse South Philly neighborhood, Fran
learned early that every person has value and
should be treated with respect. She demon-
strated her positive regard for others in her
daily life and set a strong example for her
children, grandchildren, and great grandchil-
dren of inclusion and charity of spirit. Fran
and Bud travelled extensively throughout
their marriage. Fran delighted in experien-
cing new foods and cultures and decorated
her home with treasures from around the
world. After her children were grown, Fran
returned to her art and began a home-grown
business offering original needlepoint
designs and finished pieces. After Bud died in
2001, Fran moved to The Highlands in Wyo-
missing, where she spent her golden years
among both old and new friends. Besides her
family, Fran’s true passions were dark pret-
zels, Hershey’s chocolate, and Philadelphia
sports teams. Years ago, after one particu-
larly (and literally) heart-wrenching loss by
her beloved “Iggles” to the hated Dallas Cow-
boys, Fran, who was also known to watch
every single Phillies game, was rushed to the
emergency room for a pacemaker that thank-
fully kept Fran alive long enough to see her
Eagles win the Super Bowl in 2018. Fran was
a long-time, active congregant at Kesher Zion
Synagogue and a member of the Reading
Jewish Community Center and Hadassah.

The family suggests those wishing to honor
Fran’s life with a contribution to do so to one
of those organizations or to the Anti-Defama-
tion League.

MILLIS Irving Michael Millis, Mike as everyone called
him was born November 25th 1926 to Willi-
am and Alice Millis (Kaplan). He went to Dob-
bins vocational school. After school he when
into the Navy, and received an honorable dis-
charge in 1946. After the Navy he went to

ity Zugs. After college he married the love of
his life Gloria Klayman in 1951. Mike and
Gloria had two daughters, Ivy in 1952 and
Sue Ann in 1955. Mike loved his grandchil-
dren Freddie, Alexis and Adam and his great
granddaughter Lilly, but had a very close
bond with Freddie. You could see Mike’s face
light up when Freddie was in his presence, on
the phone or communicating on FaceTime.

Mike was proud of being a 32nd degree Ma-
son with the Shriners. Mike traveled the
world with Gloria for his two business ven-
tures, Abby Paper and Omega International,
importing and exporting raw material in the
paper business. Mike was in business with
his brother Jerome Stanley Millis. Beside do-
ing business Mike’s favorite part of traveling
was meeting his business associates and
their families and learning their traditions
along with making the sale. He loved Broad-
way, the Jersey shore and traveling the
world. But most of all he loved his family and
lifelong friends that lived in Philly area. He
was a philanthropist and helped build Beth
Shalom synagogue. His name is engraved on
the Obolus. He lived in Wyncote, Elkins Park
for over 60 years. Mike was classy in every
way, however nothing stood out more than
his clothing as he always dressed in the most
fashionable clothing. Mike lived for 93 won-
derful years. Memories he has created will
live on for generations through his children,
grandchildren and great grandchild and loyal
lifelong friends. We love you Mike. Rest in
peace. We will miss you but never forget the
impact you have had on all our lives. A celeb-
ration of his life will be held at later date.

Judaism isn’t just what we believe, or the prayers
we recite or the laws we observe. It’s also about
the way we live. How we interact with others.

The values we practice. The customs and traditions
we embrace and pass down, from one generation
to the next.
