Deceased Name: Mae Usem Averbook Date of death: 09/23/2010 Age at death: 94 Mae Usem Averbook, 94, passed away peacefully in her home in North Miami, FL on Sept. 23, 2010, of pancreatic cancer. She was born in Austin, married David Averbook, and
together they operated Averbook's Department Store, the Austin Hotel, and,
for several years, the Alcove restaurant. She and David moved to Miami in
1973, where they jointly operated Raphael's Stained Glass Studio for almost
20 years. Mae and David were married for 67 years. Mae's favorite place was
in the kitchen, where she was famous for her beautiful presentations as well
as magic bars, chocolate chip cookies, and other delicious goodies which she
distributed regularly to those she loved. She also had what seemed like a
personal relationship with potted flowers and plants, which happily
flourished in her home and on her balcony. Her compassion, interest in
others, and her nurturing and friendly nature created friends of all ages.
Mae was an active dedicated volunteer to many organizations including
Hadassah, National Council of Jewish Woman, Zonta and the Pilot Club. Mae
leaves a legacy of proud parenting, proper protocol, music, laughter,
education, the joy of cooking, doing your best and always maintaining a
positive mental attitude. She is survived by her loving family; three sons: Daniel
(Ellen), Arthur (Marcy), and Charles (Debbie) Averbook; seven grandchildren:
Sara (Jarret) Kaplan; Margo (Yechiel) Rosman; Amy (Jon) Karnilow; Joey
(Danna) Averbook; Rebecca (Bryce) Gilbert; Jennifer Averbook and Michael
Averbook; four great-grandchildren: Gabriella, Avi and Atara Rosman and
Samuel Sherman Kaplan; and her sister in-law, Anita Averbook Ravage, who is 102.
She still has over 50 nieces, nephews, and cousins with whom she remained in
regular contact. Mae Averbook, the youngest of six children was preceded in
death by her parents, who were originally from, Kiev, Ukraine; her four
brothers, one of whom was Ed Usem, founder of Usem Chevrolet; and her sister.
