KNOLL Michele Shoshanah Knoll (nee Burd)
Our sweet, kind and beautiful daughter sadly
passed away from aggressive forms of Cer-
vical-Uterine Cancer on 7/8/2020. She was
only 35 years old. Michele is predeceased by
her maternal grandmother, Helen J. Miller
and her paternal grandfather, Clarence M
Burd. Michele is survived by her parents,
Randi M and William C Burd, maternal
grandfather Stephen A Miller and paternal
grandmother Wilma E Burd, brother Jonath-
an Burd, husband Edward Knoll III, 4 chil-
dren, Cody, Tyler, Haley and Micah. Also,
many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear, dear
friends. She is sorely missed. Michele went
to college for elementary education due to
her love for children and teaching. She then
decided to stay home and raise her 4 beauti-
ful children herself. We were so very proud of
everything about her. Kindness to all, even
when undeserved. A sweet nature which
made her loved by everyone she touched.

She was an animal activist and went on to
adopt many cats who she treated as her own
babies. She wanted dogs one day when she
had a bigger place. A top floor condominium
was rough to raise children and attend to a
dog at the same time. She and I, her Mother,
were best friends. We had fun together. From
watching movies, talking about anything and
everything, to lunches out together. Thanks-
giving was always the best holiday for us.

We'd cook, laugh, enjoy our precious time to-
gether, and then feed the family. She had a
soft place in her heart for her Daddy, Bill.

From the moment she was born she was
Daddy's little girl. His perfect princess. They
never missed a father-daughter dance, hugs,
laughter. She shared the same sense of hu-
mor as her father. He penned the term PLPP
for our Michele. ( pretty little pink princess )
We never, ever left each other without saying
I love you and a huge hug. Michele was loved
and now she is loved and missed. My hus-
band and I will never get over losing our
daughter. Cries daily are normal for us.

Thinking of her favorite things, smiling at her
video's and pictures. She was truly a terrific
mother who did everything for her children.

They miss her every day and it's easy to see.

RIP Angel........until we meet again. 5/2/1985-

MAITIN Dr. David L. Maitin (1930-2021) was born
and raised in Philadelphia, the youngest of 3
sons born to Ruth and Isaac Maitin. He was
the dearly loved husband of Norma Segal
(Felder) and the late Ann Maitin
(Cooperman). Dave was a superior academic
student who graduated from Simon Gratz
High School, first in his class and valedictori-
an. He earned a Doctor of Optometry degree
from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry
and a degree in education from Temple Uni-
versity. He practiced dual careers for 26
years as the Science Department Chairman at
Beck Junior High in Cherry Hill until 1986,
after which time he focused on his optomet-
ric practice. Dave met Norma at a bereave-
ment group, the surprising fact that Norma's
late husband had the identical two careers
and attended the same two colleges. It
brought them together in a relationship that
lasted for 25 years. Dave and Norma had a
beautiful marriage. They travelled extensively
in Europe and Israel and wintered in Florida
for many years. Each meal that Norma pre-
pared received his compliments and he was
the official kitchen patrol in cleaning up. He
was a partner in choosing all the furniture in
the two homes which they maintained. Luck-
ily their taste was compatible. His 3 children
and 7 grandsons were his ultimate joy. They
were close to each other and to him from
childhood until his passing. Their accom-
plishments gave him great pride. Lori
Raichilson (Steven), Ryan (Natalie), Scott
(Jacklyn), Adam (Alex), Dr. Ian Maitin
(Pamela), Maxwell, Asher, Brenda (Dr. Scott)
Cohen, Joshua & Avery. The arrival of 2
great-grandchildren was the supreme gift
(Joanna & Isaac). Dave also acquired
Norma's family members whom he loved.

The Dodies and Tabakin families and Helene
Felder. Funeral Services were held at Platt
Memorial Chapel, Cherry Hill, NJ. Contribu-
tions in his memory may be made to The
