OBITUARY Lillian Enchman -Levy; LIDENVILLE, NY - Lillian Enchman-Levy, 83, a 52 year resident of Lindenville passed away Sunday, November 5, 2006 at her home, in her bed, in her sleep. She wouldn't have it any other way. Lillian was born in Brooklyn, New York on March 9, 1925 to the late Rosmond and Noah Schaeffer. Mrs. Levy was a housewife until her first husband died and left her to raise two of their four children alone. She became a bookkeeper in the leather industry and there, she funneled money to subsidize her gambling addiction. She was arrested for embezzlement, a felony, in 1986. Spirited, hilarious, stubborn, conniving and a "bitch on wheels" are words that best describe her. Known for her culinary skills, Lillian especially enjoyed bringing family together for great food, fighting, and guilt by manipulation. Lillian later married Mordecai "Morty" Levy, a general air-conditioning/ plumbing repair guy - supplier and philanderer. Lillian is survived by her husband, Morty Levy of Lidenville; a son/sun - center of the universe, Robert and his wife, Harriet, of Avon, Connecticut; a daughter- the controlling, manipulative and not so bright Carrie Hammond of Upstate, New York; a daughter - righteous. street smart and self made woman Sarah and her husband, Ray Keegan of Upstate, New York; son, Michael, who she never really cared about because she never wanted him in the first place, and his wife, Jocelyn, of Switzerland; a stepson Richard Levy, who she despised, of Brooklyn, New York; seven grandchildren and one great grandchild. A service will be held Tuesday, at The Atlantic City Casino, where afterwards, Lillian's cremains will be scattered amongst all the black-jack tables. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Gamblers Anonymous.
