Remembering Robin Seidenberg

By now you have undoubtedly heard the sad news that LCACE member and past
th
president Robin Seidenberg passed away on February 17 . Her funeral was held
th
on Monday, February 20 , with seven LCACE members in attendance. Rabbi Ari
Margolis of Congregation Or Shalom officiated, and obviously knew Robin well.
His eulogy acknowledged her love for and devotion to her husband Lew, her son
Noah and his wife Kathleen Mary and her grandchildren Ethan and Carly. He al-
so provided many examples of her influence and dedication while serving in vol-
unteer leadership roles on Grayslake village boards & committees, at Congrega-
tion Or Shalom, within LCACE and PCBUG of Naples computer clubs and several
genealogical societies – all with strong convictions and a wry sense of humor!
Robin served as our president for six years before finally “retiring” in 2014, placing a high priority
on building up our bank account while also ensuring that we had a varied and interesting array of
programs. When I became president in 2015, she was quick to offer her expertise and support,
and her friendship, counsel and willingness to help with prize coordination and meeting room res-
ervations have been an enormous help and are very much appreciated!

Rest in peace, Robin……..
