Levitt, Arline (Kadish)

Arline Levitt, 83, died June 14, 2022. She is survived by her husband of 61 years Harvey, and her children Terri Kramer and her partner Neil Malkin and Bob Levitt and his wife Robin. She also leaves her grandchildren Melanie (Kramer) and her husband Colin Willis, Rebecca Kramer, Ryan Levitt and Morgan Levitt. Born in Hartford, CT, she was the daughter of the late Sidney and Betty Zucker Kadish. She was predeceased by her older sisters Marion Greenberg and Ruth Kadish.

Graduating from Weaver High School in 1957, Harvey and Arline were King and Queen of her Senior Prom. She worked for over 25 years in the insurance industry for Aetna and Fireman’s Fund. After retirement, she and Harvey moved to The Villages in Florida in 2005 enjoying their life there immensely taking advantage of all that the amazing community had to offer. She was a proud member of Temple Shalom Sisterhood and became a Bat Mitzvah at the age of 73. She loved to

play Mahjong every week with a very close and wonderful group. They enjoyed traveling especially going on cruises with their many friends from The Villages.

She was fiercely loved by her children, grandchildren and extended family who would argue that she was the most beloved woman on the planet. Some of her fondest memories were made at the Connecticut shore with her grandchildren where she would make the best dolly bars and potato salad that could be found anywhere. She had a special place in her heart for her neighborhood friends on Patrick Place. People were drawn to her because of her boundless and truly genuine kindness creating an extraordinarily large circle of

friends. To meet Arline was to become her friend and she could always be counted upon for anything.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Steve and Cindy Greenberg for their invaluable and loving care and assistance. In lieu of flowers, donations should be directed to the Alzheimer’s Association, alz. org.
