Lillian Silberman

Lillian Silberman was born on December 3, 1929 in San Angelo, Texas. Her parents, Joe and Bertha Miller, soon moved to El Paso and established Miller Tailoring and Cleaners. Lillian has been a resident of El Paso ever since. She graduated from El Paso High School, attended UT Austin, and eventually graduated from Texas Western College in the early fifties. Her husband Henry moved here shortly after his service in WWII and they married in 1949. Their marriage lasted 54 years until Henry’s death in 2003. They enjoyed many activities together and traveled extensively. Lillian taught school in the EPISD from the early sixties until 1984. Afterwards she volunteered for a number of different organizations including Providence Memorial Hospital, Operation School Bell, and Meals on Wheels, to name a few. Lillian had many interests, but playing bridge and reading were probably her favorites. She also was a supporter of the arts and enjoyed the symphony, opera, as well as ballet, and dance. She was a wonderful friend and was always there for those in need. She was very proud of her Jewish Heritage and participated in a number of organizations. Lillian was an energetic person and a “straight shooter”. Her word was her bond, she dotted every “I” and crossed every “T”, and she could always be counted on. She had three children: Frank, Carol (Joe McElroy), and Danny (Cindy). Her pride and joy were her three grandchildren: Rachel, Sarah, and Sean.
