Lynn Borovick

Lynn Borovick died peacefully in her sleep surrounded by her family on February 15, 2012.  She is survived by her husband, Ami, with whom she recently celebrated 40 years of marriage.  Adventurous in her early years, she met and wed Ami at a kibbutz in Israel.  She is adored by her daughters Lee’Or Meyerson and Adi Borovick and loved by her son-in law Mark Meyerson.   There are no words to describe the love she has for her 3 grandchildren Liam, Eli and Beyla.  Their “Softa” is the light of their lives.

Ms. Lynn, as she was known by her friends, was born in British Guiana, South America on February 7, 1951.  She became an official Texan when the family moved from Canada to Pasadena in 1955. She is survived by her sister Pat Susman, brother in law Buddy Susman, brother Jack Christison and sister-in-law Cookie Christison, and her Texas nieces and nephews.   The high regard her family in Israel, Michal and Amnon Borovick and numerous niece and nephews has for her cannot be described in words.

One of Lynn’s most endearing qualities was her love for animals and her constant advocacy for them.  She worked for many years as a volunteer for the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition, saving the lives of countless animals, including squirrels, rabbits, owls and a red tail hawk.  She even managed to get her family actively involved with her in caring for these animals.

Her love of animals became an embodiment of her art.  She was proficient in several media, including oil and water color painting, quilting, sewing, sculpting and drawing.  She gifted so many of her friends and family with her works of art.  In turn, her friends and family love her dearly and have contributed to her care and long battle.  The Borovick and Meyerson family owe a debt of gratitude to all of those that have touched her life.

A graveside service will be held for Lynn on Friday, February 17, at 11:00 AM at the Emanu El Cemetery.  In her honor, donations can be made to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation.
