Ron Yaffee 1931-2022 Ron Yaffee passed away peacefully on July 27 at home under hospice care due to cancer. He had been very active in several organizations during his 32 years living in Leisure World. He was an executive in business for over 39 years, but his second profession, elementary school teaching, was what he enjoyed most. Ron was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather; he was married to Gene over 71 years. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends.

Seena Friedland One month shy of 100 years old, 20-year Leisure World resident Seena Friedland of Mutual 4 passed peacefully on June 23. As an active member of the Leisure World community, Seena enjoyed playing bingo and Mahjong and was very close with her family members who also lived in Leisure World (at one point, there were 11 family members). Even though Seena never had kids, she had 13 nieces and nephews in her life, three of whom are still living in Leisure World: Randy Miller, Shari Young and David Friedland, plus Marsha McRae, her brother’s only child. Seena always looked forward to family get-togethers. Mere weeks before she passed away, she attended a family party where her grand-nephew Jered “interviewed” her about her early life living in New York City. Still sharp as a tack, she recounted being born and raised in New York and even described watching the George Washington bridge being built as she walked to school each day. When asked what she did for fun, Seena reminisced about selling war bonds in posh Manhattan restaurants (which she said, she did very well). Seena drove her car well into her 90s, and never spent a single night in a hospital in her 99 years. In addition to her being active in non-profit organizations such as the City of Hope, Hadassah and the Jewish Federation, Seena worked at Temple Beth Shalom for 35 years as its executive director. She loved all the glitter in life, and she wore it well! May she rest in peace.
