Helen Hascal Lewis
Helen Hascal Lewis died suddenly of an apparent heart attack on Oct. 16, 2000, at the home of her daughter in Davis.
In 1920, at 6 months old, she and her family immigrated from Romania to Toledo, Ohio, where she lived until 1978, at which time she moved to California to be near her children.
She grew up in the north end of Toledo on Moore Street, near the Sharei Zedack Shul, of which she remained a member all of her life. She attended Spring School where she skipped both the third and fifth grades. She graduated from Woodward High School in 1937.
During the 1940s she worked for Marilyn Furs and later for Mark Klaus. In the 1960s she studied semantics at the University of Toledo and maintained a lifelong love of words and grammar.
She derived much happiness and pleasure from her role as organizer, leader and dedicated fund-raiser for many charitable and civic organizations in Toledo. She was especially active in the City of Hope, for which she won numerous achievement awards and honors for her dedication and fundraising ability. In 1981 she founded the Mae Fine/David Lewis City of Hope Chapter in Woodland Hills.
Those who knew her admired her energy, thoughtfulness, resilience and sense of humor. She loved dancing and music and, according to her brother, Marvin, she won at least two popularity contests in the 1940s at the Trianon Ballroom. She was affectionately known as the Golden Lady, in fact, her e-mail address was HelenGoldenLady@aol.com.
She was preceded in death by two of her children, Marilyn Alworth in 1984 and David Lewis in 1981. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Sam, Otto and Maurice Hascal, and her sisters, Betty Roberts, Beth Hascal and Ann Kaplan.
