She lived life to the fullest

(Page 2 of 2)

The Epsteins later became “snow birds,” first traveling back and forth from Lawrence to South Florida, and later moving full-time to the Woodlands, in Tamarac. When Harold died in 2004, Miriam once again insisted there would be no more marriages. And while she continued to have her share of suitors, even in her 90s, she managed to stick to her guns and successfully resist yet another walk down the aisle.

Instead, she filled her final years with mah jong, lunches, dinners, schmoozing on the phone with friends, and most of all, with family.

Miriam Epstein leaves behind a legacy that includes her children, Mitchell and Lois Fink, Richard and Kiki Fink, and Joan and Dale Mallie, seven grandchildren, Larry and Monica, Jonathan and Carrie, Aaron and Laurie, Amanda, Jesse, Brian, and Bennett, six great-grandchildren, Sophia, Jacob, Ethan, Alexandra, Noah, and Jordyn, the entire Epstein family, her two brothers, Manny and Alfred Howard, and a million friends along the way.

Miriam Epstein had a long and wonderful life. We should all do so well.
