Lila (Isaacson) Szendre passed away on Friday, June 17, 2016 at the Poppen Residence in Muskegon. She had just celebrated her 90th birthday.

Lila was born in Copemish on June 8, 1926 to Aina and Isaac Isaacson; they farmed over 300 acres and sold a portion of their property, which is where the Cleon Township Cemetery is now located and where Lila will rest.

She graduated as valedictorian from Copemish High School.

She married George Szendre in 1945, and they were married 60 years. They had no children but had many nieces and nephews.

Lila worked at Norge and Amstore, from where she retired in 1988. Lila and George enjoyed their retirement years fishing, hunting, traveling in their motor home and spending winters down south. Their favorite places were Arizona, Alabama and Florida. They had visited all 50 states.

Lila enjoyed her last 11 years at the Village of Park Terrace. She had many good friends and kept busy with many activities, playing cards and socializing.

Lila was preceded in death by her husband, George in 2005; three brothers, Bill, Rudy and Oscar Isaacson; and two sisters, Julia Koskie and Nina Koskela Hinkley.
