Sara Elaine Mitteldorf (maiden name, Tartof) was born on April 22, 1920 in Philadelphia, PA, and died July 2, 2018 in West Bloomfield, MI. She was the middle daughter of the best mother in the world, Fannie Treblow. She attended elementary school in Philadelphia and moved to Detroit to start the 5th grade. Sara loved learning and made many lifelong friends. She was very political throughout her life, organized a socialist party at school, and graduated from Northern High School Magna Cum Laud. She continued her formal education years later, attending Broward Community College and Florida State University taking art and music courses. She had three wonderful husbands over her lifetime - Louie Fried, Moe Mitteldorf and Monroe Linter (first love, life partner, and late-life romance). Sara worked as a book keeper and, later, she and Moe bought and ran a successful laundry business in downtown Detroit. Sara fought hard to have her beloved daughter, who is cognitively impaired, educated in public school and won. But she didn't stop there; she organized a workshop where older children and adults could work and thrive and was a founding member of JARC, the Jewish Association for Retarded Citizens. Sara leaves behind her daughter Barbara, a sister and brother-in-law Dotty and Arthur Smith, many nieces and nephews (Burt Carp, Ken Tartof, Judy Frank, Ava Gossinger, and Mindy and Fred Smith), her three wonderful caregivers Natasha Korestalova, Eugenia Ustinova, and Inna Orman, and many friends and family members who will long remember her legacy, fierce determination, beauty, and love.
