Obituary: Lena Sisselman

Lena Sisselman, born May 28, 1915, passed away Jan. 24, 2021, at the age of 105. She was running a business when women did not venture out of the kitchen, and she was successful before computers, email and texts. Everything about the business was stored in her incredible memory. She did it all: family life, social life and her business Globe Chemical Company.

Mrs. Sisselman was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years Sidney R. Sisselman; her parents Isaac and Sadie Melnick; her brother William Melnick; and sisters Annie Melnick and Gertrude Gulden. She is survived by daughters Rosalind Haber (Phillip) and Deborah Fialkow (Alan); and son Ivan Sisselman (Jill); as well as eight grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and four great-great- grandchildren, every one of them convinced she loved them best of all.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Congregation Beth Tefillah, Hospice of Georgia, and Ahava Early Learning Center of Ahavath Achim Synagogue.

Graveside services were held Jan. 27. Arrangements by Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care, 770-451-4999.
