1991-2011

With Ida, 2002

Sam, Lori, Mildred, Ben, Samantha, Ida and Tracey, 2004

Mildred's Grandchildren:
Hillary, Samantha, Hollie, Benjamin and Sam

After Sam's death, Mildred sold the Ridgefield house and bought an apartment at 1050 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It looked over the treetops of Central Park and the reservoir at 86th Street. Mildred would enjoy watching the runners and dog walkers from her window.

She enjoyed renovating the apartment and filling it with the antiques, art and treasures that she and Sam had collected over the years. She continued to run the stock photography business, and also became involved with a group for widows, where she made friends.

Tracey presented her with twin grandchildren in 1993, Benjamin and Samantha. Around 1996, Lori remarried Jeffrey Karp, and baby Sam was born in 2001.

Mildred spent the years traveling and enjoying life in the city. She attended the theater, was a member of a book group, and spent time with Lori and her children. She went on many special trips around the world.

Mildred enjoyed excellent health during these years. She belonged to a gym and had a personal trainer who marveled at her strength. In December, 2010, she broke her knee in a fall and was reported to be ambulatory and  in good health.

Mildred's body was found on Sunday, January 9th in her apartment. The cause of her death was not disclosed and there was no obituary published. Mildred was interred at the Sanctuary of Abraham and Sarah at Cedar Park Cemetary in Paramus, New Jersey on January 13, 2011 next to Sam.

May she rest in peace.
