Ida Rose Tatelbaum of Dartmouth, MA, formerly of Brockton, MA, passed away peacefully on August 21, 2020, surrounded by family. Beloved wife of the late Matthew Tatelbaum. Devoted mother of Ira Tatelabum and his wife Diane of Quincy, MA, Dr. Ronald Tatelbaum and his wife Shelley of Milton, New York, David Tatelbaum and his wife Jan of South Dartmouth, MA, Nancy Waldman and her husband Stanley of North Dartmouth, MA and Josef Tatelbaum and his wife Grace Wang of South Dartmouth, MA. Loving sister to the late Dolly Federman and the late Moe Rubin. Adored grandmother of Laura, Chip, Evan, Pamela, Kara, Shane, Max, Heather, Spencer, Diem, Lisa, Scott, Everett, Emily, Julianna, Benn, Arielle, Ben, John and Daniel. Proud great-grandmother of Emerson, Quinn, Sophia, Katie, Matthew, Mattea, Phinn, Tyler, Poppy, Sammy and Millie.

Born to parents Israel and Jennie Rubin in Brockton, MA in 1924; Ida lived a life full of passion and ambition. Jennie instilled in Ida values of the old country she brought over from Poland— the importance of Judaism and an appreciation for her ancestors—as well as how to acclimate in America. Israel taught her the importance of hard work and how to pave your own path through his entrepreneurship in opening a leather factory. She experienced the death of her father at the young age of 19 years old who died in her arms. So, as the eldest of three she learned early on how to care for others, an attribute she would carry-on for the rest of her life as a nurse, mother and friend.

She moved to Cambridge in 1942 to attend nursing school because her mother wanted her to marry a doctor. There, she roomed with her lifelong friend Phyllis Solomon, with whom she is now reunited. Upon graduation, she worked as a private duty nurse until she married the love of her life. Though her mother did not approve at first, Ida had no doubts. They married in 1946 and quickly started what would become a family with five children. While they struggled initially, by the time the fourth child was born, Ida and Matthew had become successful entrepreneurs themselves. What started from a little corner clothing store blossomed into a widely-known department store: Mars Bargainland USA. With Ida’s unwavering support and Matthew’s savvy business sense and undeniable charisma with customers, the store went on to occupy 16 locations. She was the rock that balanced it all; whether she was cooking traditional Jewish foods, advising Matthew on how to run the business, or keeping order in the house. Her strength and talents knew no bounds.

Together, she and Matthew accomplished it all. A house full of love and laughter—oftentimes the center of welcomed chaos— and a thriving business. Through it all, they never forgot their roots and devoted time to charity especially in raising money for Israel bonds.

Once retirement replaced the chaos, they spent winters in Boca Raton to finally find some relaxation. That Florida house became the go-to vacation spot for the whole family—children and grandchildren—for years to come. She welcomed everyone with her fun-loving, playful personality that made visits extra special.

As the former captain of her high school team, Ida encouraged Matthew to play tennis. Some of their favorite memories were with their tennis groups in Dartmouth and Florida, couples who played together and more importantly, partied together. She leaves behind two of those friends, Sybil and Bunny. Ida played tennis like she did with everything in life—emblazoned in style and grace.

When Matthew passed in 2005, Ida decided the best way to honor him was to keep the family together. So, she started annual family reunions that are still on-going to this day. Family was the center of their lives. Everything she did was for family. Services are private.

Her life and all of the beautiful memories will always remain as a blessing to us all.

Lipson, Ellen B., 86 yrs, of Dedham, August 10, 2020. Daughter of the late Harry Blotner and Sylvia (Lewitt) Blotner. Beloved husband of Dr. Charles Lipson of 64 years. Devoted mother of Robert and Felicia, Peter and Hap, David and Abigail, and the late Caroline Kaufer. Proud grandmother of Harry, Celia, Isaac and Aaron, Sophie and Greg, Jenny, Tom, Hillary and Catherine. Loving sister of the late Kenneth Blotner.

Ellen’s work, in between raising five children, included helping to design this country’s early warning system (the DEW line) and helping to design the nation’s prototype air defense system, the Cape Cod System, and then the SAGE systems, as well as other projects. In retirement she was an elected member and the treasurer of her Democratic ward committee in Newton. She has also served as a volunteer greeter at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Ellen spent a lifetime of living, working studying and making a difference in the Boston area. Ellen served as president of the Newton League of voters and then spent a number of years volunteering for the state league as a lobbyist. As well as working for the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. Ellen earned her B.A. in mathematics at Wellesley College and her M.A. in applied math at Harvard.

Ellen’s career began in her early twenties at Lincoln Laboratories in Lexington, MA where she worked on developing equations describing the interception of bombers by fighter interceptors. This was the beginning of the air defense system. Interrupted when the children arrived, Ellen picked up her work again as they went off to high-school and college. She took advantage of a National Science Foundation offer to update women in science at Northeastern University. That opportunity gave her three quarters of free tuition and a chance to learn computer programming in time to be able to help the Air Force apply systems engineering to its radar programs.

When she went back to work she went to Mitre Corporation, an offshoot of Lincoln Laboratories that had taken over the system engineering programs of Lincoln Laboratories. Although much of what she did is still so secret that she would not talk in any detail about it, but she does admit to working on the radar installed in Berlin, the DEW line, and one of the early over the horizon radars. She also was sent to a still secret location in Europe leaving Charlie with a blind Phone number in case of emergency. She also went to Keflavik, Iceland for a month for Air Force work. In retirement, she tracked the stock market from her computer, something she did for more than just amusement as a day trader.

Funeral service and burial will be private. A driveway shiva will be held at the home of Stephen Kaufer and Lisa Howe on Wednesday & Thursday from 1-3 pm. Donations in Ellen’s memory can be made to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, 148 Chestnut St., Needham, MA 02492.
