Lois Lipman Solomon

SOLOMON: Lois Lipman Solomon. It is with heavy hearts and gratitude for a life well lived, that we announce the passing of our beloved Lois Lipman Solomon at home, at the age of 94. Lois was predeceased by her parents, Ella Farber Lipman and William Lipman, her brother Norris Lipman, her beloved husband Raoul Benjamin Solomon, her cherished son Robert Charles Solomon, her beloved partner Leonard Frank, and her sister-in-law Emily Solomon Mendelson. She leaves behind her daughters Wendy Solomon and Amy Solomon. In the last few months, Lois received much kindness from her caregivers, Janet Brunson and Kenya Turner, and the Bridge’s Hospice Staff. She was born and raised in Greensburg, and graduated with a degree in English from Pitt. Known for her fierce devotion to family, she was a gracious host for countless holiday dinners in her warm and welcoming home. Lois always made time to listen and laugh with friends, especially at her weekly bridge games. Her Jewish faith was an anchor in her life. She volunteered weekly at the Biblical Botanical Garden at Rodef Shalom Congregation. Lois’ passion for the performing arts also enriched our lives, from escorting her daughters to Playhouse Junior to season tickets at the Pittsburgh Symphony, Opera, and traveling Broadway shows. Her favorite vacations were traveling to New York to see as many Broadway shows as the weekend would allow. May her soul be at peace and her memory a blessing. Services and interment private. Tribute donations may be made to the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP, humaneanimalrescue.org/donate) or the charity of your choice.
