Mrs. Millye Cohen, a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother of Chabad chassidim and a pillar of the community in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, passed away on Friday, 14 Av, 5781.
She was 97 years old.
Millye (Maita bas Dovid Berel) and her husband, Adriel Cohen (Kasriel Ben Yoel Dovid), were pillars in their community of Uniontown, PA, where they lovingly raised their three children with strong Jewish values, punctuated with the sounds, tastes and smells that bespoke a love for Yiddishkeit and the importance of family ties.
As their two daughters became Baalei Teshuvah, the Cohens wholeheartedly supported their journey, connecting deeply with their new friends. Millye and Adriel took great pleasure in each grandchild, spending much time developing close personal relationships and were an integral part of their lives. Baruch HaShem, their grandchildren are Chassidim and many are on shlichus. The Cohens merited to see many great-grandchildren as well.
Millye is survived by her children, Dobra Spinner– Crown Heights, David Cohen– Phoenix, AZ and Taibke Hyman– Pittsburgh, PA, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Shiva will be observed at 5933 Phillips Ave. in Pittsburgh, PA.
Dobra Spinner will sit shivah in Crown Heights on Friday, 12:00-4:00 pm at 1316 Union St.
Baruch Dayan Haemes.
