DEATH NOTICES
GOTTESMAN Eve Weiss Gottesman, only child of Frank
Weiss and Irene Weiss (neé Zipser), wife of
Leonard Gottesman, and mother of Daniel
and Natan (Thomas) Gottesman died on
Sunday, October 8th, 2017. Len, Dan, and
Natan were with Eve, holding her hands when
she breathed her last breath. Eve was born
on June 8th, 1930 in Kosice, Czechoslovakia
and emigrated to the United States with her
parents in 1934. She and her parents es-
caped Europe in time, but sadly, lost many
family members in the Holocaust. Growing
up in Cleveland, Eve was bright and a vora-
cious reader, attending Cleveland Height
High. Eve and Len married in 1952, welcom-
ing first Dan and then Natan. Eve attended
fashion design school at age 18, and sub-
sequently lived in New York City before re-
turning to Cleveland. Eve’s second profes-
sion was raising her two boys. She returned
to college at the University of Michigan, earn-
ing a Bachelor’s Degree in the late 1960s.

After the family moved to Philadelphia in
1971, Eve attended Bryn Mawr College, earn-
ing her Master’s degree in Social Work. Eve
was a respected social worker, working at the
Philadelphia Health Management Corpora-
tion, the Pennsylvania Corporation for Aging,
and Jewish Federation of Philadelphia. Eve
was also heavily involved in Women’s Way
and the Elizabeth Blackwell Center. Eve was
well known among friends, family and col-
leagues for her warmth, caring, creativity,
classy style, exquisite taste, and sharp intel-
lect. She was also well known by Len, Dan,
and Natan for her ruthless, but accurate, red
Flair pen with which she edited our papers
and proposals and made us all better writers.

Eve’s high standards, care, ethics and metic-
ulous nature made many people and things
around her better. In addition to Len, Dan and
Natan, Eve is survived by daughters-in-law
Lisa Kollisch Gottesman and Susan Gottes-
man (nee Roberts) and grandchildren Jacob
and Reuben Gottesman and Talia and Eliana
Gottesman. May Her Memory Be For A Bless-
