www.levinefuneral.com RESSLER
Edith "Suzy" Ressler (nee Czitrom), age 93, a
Holocaust survivor who established a suc-
cessful food business, died peacefully on
Saturday July 3, 2021. She leaves her daugh-
ter Katherine Israeli and husband Joseph;
grandchildren Lisa Isaacs and husband
Daniel, David Israeli and wife Lori, Michael
Israeli and wife Hillary, and Emily Cohen and
husband Ted. She also leaves thirteen great-
grandchildren- Jacob, Naomi, Eve, Lilah, Gra-
ham, Tali, Mae, Eliana, Ayla, Janie, Zachary,
Xander, and Zoe. She was preceded in death
by her husband Emerich Ressler in 2004. Su-
zy was born and lived in Oradea, Romania
(also called Nagyvarad during years the city
was part of Hungary) until 1944, when at the
age of 16, she and other Jews in the city
were deported to the concentration camp
Auschwitz and later Stutthof. After surviving
along with her mother, Suzy returned home
and soon married Emerich. However, with the
Soviet occupation of Romania, they were
forced to escape into Austria, and then fi-
nally to the United States, along with their in-
fant daughter. In 1954, the Resslers started
delivering Suzy's home-cooked chopped liv-
er to stores in Philadelphia, and thus was
born Mrs. Ressler's Food Products. Suzy,
now Mrs. Ressler, was instrumental in driv-
ing the growth and success of her company
and was a true pioneer businesswoman in
her field. Today Mrs. Ressler's is a three gen-
eration family-run business still based in
Philadelphia that produces beef and poultry
deli products sold throughout the country.

However, nothing made Suzy more happy
and proud than to see the growing genera-
tions of her family that have followed her, es-
pecially after losing most of her extended
family in the Holocaust. Throughout her life
Suzy supported many charities both locally
and in Israel. Contributions in her memory
