Celia Fritz Lesnick

Celia Fritz Lesnick, born on November 7, 1925 in Boston, Massachusetts and a resident of Delray Beach, Florida, died on September 28, 2014. She, along with best friend Betty Gordon, were victims of a tragic car accident in Boynton Beach, Florida. Celia’s greatest happiness came from time with her family and friends.

She will always be remembered for her liveliness, sense of style, good sense of humor, generosity, and helpful advice. She loved to sit around the table with loved ones, sharing good meals, and was renowned for her mandel bread and brisket. Celia was an avid card player and movie fan, a devoted shopper –especially for her family – and she enjoyed discussing politics. An active member of the Weisman Delray Community Center, she took courses in music appreciation and current events. Celia was predeceased by her parents, Carolina and Arnold Kamenetsky, her siblings, Shirley Goldstein and Harold Kane, and her husband, Michael Fritz, with whom she owned the Needham bakery in Massachusetts. She was also predeceased by her husband Herb Lesnick.

She is survived by her beloved children Joan Kalus of South Hadley, Massachusetts, and Eugene Fritz of Woodland Hills, California. Celia adored her grandchildren Ananda,  Manuel Jimenez and his wife Ruebi, of Grass Valley, California, and Anna and Michael Fritz of Woodland Hills, California. She was cherished by great grandchildren Satya,  Planter, and Nico Jimenez, also of California. Celia was blessed with other dear relatives and friends including her niece, Ellen Johnson (deceased) and Ellen’s husband Billy Johnson, her nephew Mitchell Goldstein and his wife Stephanie, and their two sons Mark and Mitchell,  and niece Marcy Kublin.

Her vital spirit will live on through those she loved.

A graveside service will be held on Sunday, October 5, 2014 at 1:00 pm at  American Friendship Cemetery, 776 Baker Street, West Roxbury, Massachusetts.
