Celle M Basch, age 75, of Orlando, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017, at her residence. Born in Chicago, on Sept. 2, 1942, she was the daughter of the late Lewis and Roslyn Schenker Weinberg. Celle attended the University of Oklahoma, majoring in Anthropology. She was a woman of many talents, ultimately becoming a successful real estate salesperson, together with her husband, Alan. She and Alan were married on Aug. 4, 1963, in Miami.

Originally settling in Orlando in 1971, they moved frequently, due to Alan’s aerospace engineering work, finally settling here following his retirement. The family was formerly long-time members of Congregation of Reform Judaism.

In addition to her husband of over 54 years, Celle is survived by her daughters, Lori (David) Lepow of Palm Harbor, Marci (Mark) Wasserman of Safety Harbor and Julie (David) Hunnes of Tampa; and three grandsons, Jason, Jared and Nathaniel.

A graveside service was held at Congregation of Reform Judaism Cemetery, Gotha, with Rabbi Arnold Siegel of Jewish Family Services officiating. In memory of Celle Basch, and in recognition of her long-time dedication to animal rescue, the family requests contributions to Best Friends Animal Society, 5001 Angel Canyon Road, Kanab UT 84741, donations@bestfriends.org.

Arrangements entrusted to Beth Shalom Memorial Chapel, 640 Lee Road, Orlando. 407-599-1180.
