GILLER Phyllis Segal Giller passed away peacefully
on Tuesday, January 1, 2019, after a cour-
ageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease. She
was 80. She was a devoted and loving wife to
Frederick Giller for 55 years. Born in the Lo-
gan section of Philadelphia, she was the
daughter of the late Samuel and Ethel Mintz
Segal. Phyllis was vibrant and full of life. She
was extremely talented with her needlepoint
and knitting. Her knitted sweaters were gor-
geous, unique and colorful, much like her
personality. She enjoyed the beach, her
friends, racquetball, tennis, and was gifted
with a “green thumb” for nurturing her house
plants to the skill level of a master gardener.
She loved to wander through art museums.
She enjoyed dancing, the theater, musicals
and watching her grandchildren perform. Her
children and grandchildren were always her
crowning achievement in life. In addition to
her husband, Phyllis is survived by her lov-
ing children, Bryan and Maryanne Giller, and
William and Karen Stanell; as well as her four
grandchildren; Steven and David Giller and

JOSEPH A. FLUEHR lll FUNERAL HOME
INGERMAN Corinne Ingerman passed away on January 5,
2019. She was born in Philadelphia in 1930,
in the throes of the Great Depression, to Al-
bert and Dora Schwait. She attended Olney
High School in Philadelphia, Pa., and met her
future husband, Albert Ingerman, shortly
after her graduation in 1948. They married in
May, l949, when Corinne was 19. Corinne
and Albie enjoyed 61 happy years together.
They had two children, Michele and Mark.
Corinne was a homemaker, devoted to her
husband and children. She always regretted
that her family could not afford to send her to
college, so she encouraged her children to
seek higher education. Her daughter became
a lawyer and her son, a doctor. What Jewish
mother could ask for more? Corinne was a
lifelong swimmer and played tennis competit-
ively at Idle Hour Tennis Club in Drexel Hill,
Pennsylvania. She also was a devoted bridge
player her entire life, constantly honing her
skills with bridge lessons and Charles Goren
at her side. After moving to Florida in the mid
1970’s, Corinne continued playing tennis and
bridge, finding new partners and expanding
her social circle. But it was in Florida, spe-
cifically, Palm Beach County, where her ca-
reer as an artist blossomed. Art was her true
passion. She focused seriously on her career
as an artist after her children left the nest.
She took classes at Philadelphia College of
Art and volunteered at Elwyn Institute, where
she taught art to disabled children. She built
an art studio onto her home and painted pro-
lifically. She displayed her paintings all over
her home, sold many commercially and ex-
hibited her works at various galleries around
Palm Beach County. She won numerous
prizes for her art. In addition, Corinne was a
founding member of the Wellington Art Soci-
ety. She played an active role in the Society
until she returned to Philadelphia in 2016.
She spearheaded many projects, including a
large-scale undertaking in which local artists
decorated the children’s wing of a local hos-
pital. After her children were grown, Corinne
and her husband actively traveled throughout
the United States and abroad. Despite her
active schedule, Corinne always made time

A RESOLUTION OF
ABRAMSON SENIOR CARE
The Board of Trustees of Abramson Senior Care record with
sorrow the passing of their esteemed colleague and friend
Robert Ford, Ph.D.
whose commitment to philanthropy benefited the seniors served
by Abramson, and whose life serves as an example of kindness and
generosity to the entire community.
Dr. Ford joined the Board of Trustees in 1989. As a member of the
Building for Life Committee, his guidance and largesse was instru-
mental in the planning and building of Abramson’s Horsham campus.
His generous support of both the Annual Fund and the Heritage
Society for planned gifts has ensured that Abramson will be able to
provide seniors throughout Philadelphia with essential programs
and services. Additionally, Dr. Ford was a long-time supporter of
Abramson’s annual Rainbow Ball fundraising gala, serving as the
Family Album Ad Book co-chair in 1992. He always used his brain,
heart and resources to help make the world a better place for all of us.
Abramson Senior Care and our entire Jewish community were
truly fortunate to have been the beneficiary of Dr. Ford’s time,
leadership and enduring tzedakah.
To his wife, Shelby, children Nancy (Dr. Michael) Grossman and
J. Stuart (Alyson) Ford; his grandchildren; and all who mourn his
passing, the Board of Trustees of the Abramson Senior Care offer
this expression of profound sympathy. May they find solace in the
knowledge that his dedication, generosity and good works will serve
as a living tribute to him and will benefit future generations.
