Florence Seibert kept joy for life
Florence Seibert, who maintained a joy for life despite many hardships, died Frida y of heart failure at the Jewish Hospital in Kenwood. She was 76.
Mrs. Seibert, who survived the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, really endured two holocausts, said a son, Max Seibert, of Pleasant Ridge.
She and her late husband, Israel, were permanently crippled five years ago when an elevator at their Indian Creek Apartments in Kenwood fell four floors and crashed. The Seiberts never returned home after the accident. After spending months in University and Drake hospitals, they lived at the Cedar Village Nursing Home in Mason, Ohio. Mrs. Seibert suffered from a severe heart condition until her death.
"She went through a tremendous medical crisis . . . but she did retain her memories and her joy in life," Max Seibert said.
Mrs. Seibert was born Florence Otter in Czianov, Poland, in 1923 and was a schoolgirl of 16 when she was sent to a concentration camp, first Bergen-Belsen and then Mattheusen. She lost her parents and three brothers in the camps.
After the war, Mrs. Seibert was sent to Sweden where she met her husband, Israel, before emigrating to the United States in 1953.
He founded the Apex Furniture Manufacturing Co. in Over-the-Rhine, and she worked in community organizations, including Haddasah and the Jewish Community Center. Both were active in Jewish Survivors of Nazism, renamed Combined Generations of the Holocaust.
Other survivors are another son, Jeff, of Blue Ash; a daughter, Mary Seibert of Anderson Township, and four grandchildren.
Weil Funeral Home was in charge of weekend services. Memorials may be sent to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place SW, Washington, D.C., 20024.
