Lillian Aichenbaum

Lillian Leiderman Aichenbaum, 91 of Haverford, Pennsylvania, formerly of West Bloomfield, Michigan, died February 15, 2023.

 Lillian was the devoted wife of 66 years to Milton Aichenbaum, who passed away in 2016. Lillian was the loving mother of Elaine Aldridge, Mike Aichenbaum (Ruth) and Rabbi Yaakov Aichenbaum. She was the loving grandmother of Brent (Catherine) Aldridge, David (Hannah Byland) Aichenbaum, Joshua Aichenbaum, Yonasan, Eliyahu, Yehoshua, Adina Miriam, Yair, Azriel and Shulamis Aichenbaum, and great-grandmother of Tessa Jean Aldridge and Sylvie Alana Byland.  Lillian also leaves behind many close relatives from the US and Canada. She was predeceased by her parents Baruch and Ethel Leiderman, her brother, Allen Leiderman, and son-in-law, Rick Aldridge.

 Lillian was born in Detroit but spent her childhood summers with family in Montreal, as her mother had been the first of seven sisters who grew up there. When in Detroit, every Sunday Lillian would visit other relatives in Windsor, where her father’s family lived. She instilled in her children a deep love for family. She also showed kindness to everyone and selflessly gave of herself to anyone in need of support. She was at home with her children while they were growing up and also occasionally helped out in the family jewelry business. In later years, she worked at a travel agency. She moved to Pennsylvania in 2016 so that she could live closer to family.

A grave-side service was held at Har Jehuda Cemetery in Upper Darby, PA. Contributions in memory of Lillian may be sent to hostsforhospitals.org.
