OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY
SHIFRA DOTHAN of Kfar Saba, Israel: Ima of Bosmat Dovas (Eric), and Safta of Noam and Talya, passed away on March 18, 2022, with the comfort of her family near. May her beautiful soul, blessed softness and kindness be of fond memories to the family members here and in Israel for generations. SHERELL EDWARD GORDON, of Farmington Hills, passed away after a short illness on March 11, 2022. Born in Detroit on May 27, 1924, Sherell was a lifelong, Metro Detroit resident. A veteran of WWII, he also fought in the Israeli War of Independence in 1948 as a pilot in the Israeli Air Force. He was a beloved husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend to all who had the pleasure of meeting him. Sherell enjoyed gardening, travel, golf, photography and spending time with family. To quote his wife of 39 years and partner for almost 50, Sherell was an “avid reader, meager sleeper.” He was kind, generous, witty and — like all lost loved ones — special. Sherell is survived by his wife of 39 years, Sondra; sons, David (Shirley) Gordon, Robert (Lisa) Gordon; stepchildren, Patti Kurche Phillips and Jeffrey Starr; seven grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and a host of others who will miss him very much. By request of the family, interment will be private.
