KRENSEL It is with a sense of profound sor-
row but also a celebration of a life
well lived, we announce that Ed-
ward Krensel has passed away
on October 10, 2022, peacefully at
his home surrounded by those he
loved and that loved him. Ed was
89 years old. He was born on May
11, 1933 in South Philly to Molly
and Louis Krensel. He is survived
by his loving wife, Vivian, and his
children, Donna, Lauren, Michelle,
Matt, Leiba and Lauren as well as
his 16 beautiful grandchildren, his
sister Judy Burgis. Ed was pre-
ceded in death by his daughter
Lisa. He was an all-city athlete at
Olney High School and received
a track scholarship to Temple Uni-
versity. He was an entrepreneur at
an early age and while still in high
school produced a number of R&B
acts. He was drafted into the army
during the Korean War and served
with distinction as a Staff Sargent,
was tasked to produce USO shows
in Korea. He was a Mummer in the
fancy division for 45 years winning
a dozen 1st place prizes. During
his life he enjoyed sailing, winter
camping and fly fishing amongst his
many favorite activities. He was an
avid landscaper and won first prize
in the Philadelphia Flower Show.

Ed loved his cats and has had many
throughout the years. He was an
entrepreneur during his life, but his
crowning jewel was the business he
co-founded with his partner, Andy
Janczak. Their high-performance
polymer business is a well-known,
international company employing
over 60 people with distributors in
over 60 countries worldwide. When
Ed moved to Doylestown in 1996,
he became involved with the VFW
Post 175 and became involved
in many projects, most notably
the Global War on Terror Memo-
rial located at the Bucks County
Courthouse. Ed was also activity
involved in sporting clay shooting
and recently the Bucks County Fish
& Game Association named a pistol
range in his honor. He was a long-
time supporter of the Doylestown
Hospital and the County Theatre.

Ed leaves behind a legacy that has
reached far and wide. His influence
on the lives of others will carry on
through generations. His parting
words were “Make everyday a holi-
day.”In lieu of flowers or gifts, dona-
tions may be made in Ed’s honor to
the Doylestown Post 175 Veterans
of Foreign Wars, Post Office Box
1533, Doylestown, PA 18901.

YVONNE SYTNER died peaceful-
ly on October 12th, 2022 days shy
of her 88th birthday. She was born
on October 15th, 1934 in Antwerp,
Belgium, to Polish-Jewish parents,
Abram Sytner and Rosa Rotsztejn
Sytner. Her older brother, Harry
Oskar, was born in Berlin prior to
the family’s move to Belgium. Of a
large family that extended from Po-
land to France, Yvonne was one of
very few to survive the Shoah, hav-
ing spent the war years as a hid-
den child in Brussels, living in plain
sight with an assumed identity. Yad
Vashem honored her loving rescu-
ers, the Le Chat family, as Righ-
teous Among the Nations in 2000.

At the war’s end, Yvonne spent
nearly two years at Profondsart, an
orphanage that gathered surviving
Jewish children in Belgium. Locat-
ed by a cousin in the U.S. Army,
who helped to arrange passage,
at 12 years old Yvonne made a dif-
ficult journey on a refugee ship to
the United States. There she was
welcomed by her uncle, Louis Sit-
ner, in Philadelphia, where she
settled with his daughter and son-
in-law, Miriam Sitner Clibanoff and
Louis Clibanoff, who took her in as
a sibling to their daughter Lynne
Clibanoff Selkow (Donald Selkow),
who survives her. In 1954, Yvonne
married Herman Lutzner, the boy
next door, and they spent 64 loving
years together until Herman’s death
in 2018. Yvonne and Herman’s two
children, Jodie Lutzner Garay (An-
drea Stanley) and Jeffrey Lutzner
(Jessica DeGroot), have widened
the circle with their children, Ella Lu-
tzner Garay, Jocelyn DeGroot-Lu-
tzner, and Julian DeGroot-Lutzner.

Though scarred by unfathomable
early loss and trauma, Yvonne was
a woman of remarkable strength
and resilience – and elegance.

She was a loving wife, mother, and
grandmother, who doted on her
grandchildren, cultivating a special
relationship with each one of them.

Yvonne will be sorely missed by
her close-knit family and the many
who experienced her love of life.

The family asks that friends make
a contribution in Yvonne’s name to
HIAS (https://www.hias.org), an or-
ganization that was instrumental in
helping her find refuge in the United
States. GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S
