Zelda “Celia” Diamond, beloved mother of
Martin and Judith Abrahamson and Iris and
Bud Polatsch, passed away peacefully
No v e m be r 1 , 2 02 1 , in P hila del ph ia,
Pennsylvania at the age of 100. Born in Glas-
gow, Scotland on January 13, 1921, she was
the daughter of Jessie and Louis Steinberg
and the sister of Leah, Joe, Esther and Mor-
ris. Celia was the devoted grandmother of
Ross, Sari, Lauren and Justine and was the
adoring great grandmother of Dylan, Sophia,
Jodi, Dean, Max and Zoe. She was the former
wife of the late Alex Abrahamson and the
widow of Edward Diamond. Celia lived a long
and full, independent life, filled with love of
family and friends in three countries- Scot-
land, Israel and the United States. She most
recently found a wonderful group of friends
at Paul’s Run, where she was actively in-
volved in the community. Playing bridge at
her son Martin’s house was the highlight of
her week, and she loved spending time with
her grandchildren and great grandchildren as
often as possible. Celia returned both to Glas-
gow and to Israel for special trips where she
was reunited with family and friends. And at
age 93, she became a bat mitzvah! She was a
strong, vibrant, determined woman who will
be greatly missed.

lentown, Pennsylvania to Philip and Pauline
Taradash-Miller. Sylvia attended what was
then known as Allentown High School gradu-
ating in the class of 1939. She thereafter at-
tended Cedar Crest College. While in Al-
lentown, Sylvia met her beloved Bernard
“Bernie” Gutman whom she married in Janu-
ary of 1943. Sylvia and Bernie then moved to
Bayonne, New Jersey to start a business to-
gether and raise a family. In 1955 Sylvia and
Bernie moved back to Allentown,
Pennsylvania to be closer to her family where
she remained until 1986 when she moved to

Sylvia is survived by her brother, Norman

erly person.
