MILDRED (BERLIN)
SOLOMON
Sept. 3, 1901 – April
15, 1983
She was actually born as Minnie Berlin in Brooklyn NY. Mildred was a name she called herself later
in life. She married my grandfather Jacob Solomon on February 21, 1926. Click here to see
their marriage certificate. They had two
children, Robert and Edward (my father).
Grandma Mildred was very loving and devoted to her family. We were an Air Force family and stationed all
over the world. No matter where we lived
(Germany,
Panama,
Ecuador,
and all over the US),
she always came to visit us on a regular basis.
When she arrived at the airport to see us, she was ALWAYS ALWAYS
the first one off the plane. To this
day, I don’t know how she did it.
She lived in Brooklyn her
entire life, but came to live in Austin
to be closer to us in her final days.
Nobody made knishes and latkes better than Grandma Mildred (except for maybe
Grandma Lilly).
She is buried in New
Montefiore Cemetery next to her husband.
