She held a Master’s degree in Psychology, was president of her local chapter of the National Organization for Women, and was loved by her neighbors, friends and family. Lonna was strong-willed, quick-witted and unabashedly fearless. She made the best chicken soup in town, avidly collected Judaica and cookbooks, and never failed to complete her morning crossword puzzle. She treated her children and grandchildren like treasures. Cherishing her memory are her daughter, Robyn Kahn Federman; her son, Richard Kahn (Carole); five grandchildren: Dr. Michelle, Michael and Daniel Kahn, and Sarah and Rachel Federman; and siblings, Judy Chernak, Marilyn Stern-Olshan (Mike) and Dr. Joseph Esterson (Joan). She is now reunited with her beloved daughter, Susan Kahn, and her husband of 62 years, Dr. Marvin Kahn.
