Betty Lois (nee Wolf) passed away on Janu-
ary 8, 2022. Wife of the late Raymond Op-
penheim. Mother of Rhonda (Dr. Matthew)
Smith and the late Steven Mark Oppenheim.

Grandmother of Jared Laine Smith and the
late Steven Elliot Smith. Betty was born in
Philadelphia and graduated Chester High
School where she was the outstanding stu-
dent in Distributive Education for the Class of
1949. She worked at Weinberg’s, a local de-
partment store, and enjoyed traveling to
Manhattan on buying trips. She completed a
New York School of Interior Design program
in the Decorative Arts, which continued her
lifelong passion for design, furnishing, fash-
ion, and style. A few years later she became
very interested in sewing and couturier
design, making all of her own clothing. She
taught sewing to adults at the local high
school and her friends would frequently gath-
er at her home for instruction. Her sewing ac-
complishments were all the more remarkable
because she had been diagnosed with
Rheumatoid Arthritis beginning at the age of
18. She fought that battle for the rest of her
life. She enjoyed traveling with her husband
around the world to many exotic locales, and
her journeys through Asia sparked an endur-
ing interest in Asian decorative arts. After
raising her family, she and her husband re-
tired to Atlantic City, not far from the place on
the beach where they first met. They enjoyed
an active social life which included casinos,
boxing events, and live entertainment. In At-
lantic City, she would frequently have the op-
portunity to see top headliners. Some of her
favorites were Frank Sinatra, Smokey Robin-
son, Andrea Bocelli, Tony Bennett, Joan
Rivers, and Don Rickles, just to name a few.

After her husband passed away, she moved
with the rest of her family to the Tampa Bay
area where she enjoyed the warm Florida
sunshine. Contributions in Betty’s memory
may be made to the Arthritis Foundation at

Nancy D. Plon (née Lipton) passed away at
Georgetown University Hospital in Washing-
ton, D.C. on January 11, 2022. Mrs. Plon, a
native of Philadelphia, was a resident of
Washington, D.C. for many decades. Mrs.

Plon is survived by her daughter, Ruth De-
dole (Pascal) of Dijon, France, a son William
Plon (Victoria) of Colorado, a granddaughter,
Jessica Martin (Lionel) of Paris, France, and
5 great-grandsons (Ouriel, Aaron, Yoni, Ari,
Avner) who brought her great joy. Mrs. Plon
was preceded in death by her sister whom
she loved dearly, Dorothy Lipton, and she is
survived by her beloved brother, Leonard
Lipton (Nancy) of New Jersey. Mrs. Plon
earned a bachelors degree from Temple Uni-
versity and had a career rich in the classical
arts. Based in Vienna, Austria, from the
1960s until the 1980s, Mrs. Plon worked
closely with classical and jazz artists to pro-
mote their talent and arrange performances
throughout Europe under the auspices of the
United States government. Upon returning to
the United States, Mrs. Plon worked with the
Federal Communications Commission and
was a member of the team that addressed the
Y2K phenomenon at the turn of the millenni-
um. Mrs. Plon completed her career with the
FCC by dedicating herself to improving com-
munications policy and deployment on Nat-
ive American reservations. As a patron of the
arts, Mrs. Plon was an ever-present support-
er at the Kennedy Center in Washington. An
avid attendee of symphony, opera, and other
classical music performances, Mrs. Plon
could always be found in “her” seat, promin-
ently located in the front row of each of the
Kennedy Center venues. Mrs. Plon often
marveled that the Kennedy Center was a
temple to the beauty of music and human
creativity. A private interment ceremony is
planned for Mrs. Plon, next to her beloved
sister and parents, at Mt. Sharon Cemetery in
Philadelphia. She will surely be missed by her
friends and family.

R O S E N T H A L
Vanda Lee Rosenthal (nee Cohen) of Lafay-
ette Hill, PA died on January 7, 2022 at age
83. Beloved wife of Samuel. Mother of Ann
Robin Rosenthal (Michael Litchman); Kim-
berly Dale Rosenthal (David Budner, former
spouse); Sara Beth Silberman (Eric). Adoring
“Mom Mom” to grandchildren Isaac, Chaya,
Drew, Pearl, and Ella. Predeceased by her
dear granddaughter Carly, brother Dr. Hunter
Cohen, and sister Ellen Mae Abrahms. Vanda
was a diva with a big heart, often described
as being fun-loving with a wry sense of hu-
mor. Very much loved and admired for her
progressive thinking, she was the kind of
mother that everyone wished they had. She
looked younger than she was, had a lot of
style, and spoke her mind freely. An accom-
plished cellist, music was Vanda’s passion.

As a music teacher in the Philadelphia and
Upper Darby school districts, she taught gen-
erations of children to love music. She com-
posed countless songs, including a special
song for each of her daughters, making them
feel loved and unique. Through her music,
Vanda enriched the community. She was a
cellist for decades in the Lansdowne Sym-
phony Orchestra and sang in community
choirs at Main Line Reform Temple and
Haverford College. The beautiful music she
taught, played, and sang to others became
the soundtrack to the lives of her family,
friends, and students. In addition, she taught
swimming at Har Zion Day Camp, together
with her husband Sam, for many years. Be-
sides having an infectious sense of humor,
Vanda inspired others to be their own person,
fight for what they believe in, and give back
to the community. Her special spark, which
she shared so freely, lives on through all that
had the pleasure of sharing their lives with
her. Private funeral service and interment.

Shiva will be observed virtually. Donations in
her memory may be made to Settlement Mu-
sic School, www.settlementmusic.org/give
