It is with sorrow that Congregation Kol Ami announces the death of Glenn Griswold, the brother-in-law of Anna and Steven Heffron. Glenn died Aug. 15 in New Hampshire. He was 72 years old. Our condolences to Anna and Steven as well as to their extended family.


Stanley Federman was born in Utica, N.Y., on Nov. 11, 1924. He grew up in New York City. One of his fond childhood memories was summers spent at the Camp Arrowhead boy's camp at Lake St. Catherine, Vt.


Stan was drafted into the U.S. Army when he was 18 years old. During World War II, he was a radio operator attached to several artillery units and the 115th Infantry Regiment in support of the 29th Infantry Division. He landed on Omaha Beach, Easy Red sector, on the morning of June 6, 1944, during the D-Day amphibious assault. His recollection of D-Day was first published in The Oregonian newspaper in 1974 for the 30th anniversary of the Allied invasion. After making landfall, Stan participated in the liberation of France and supported the assault force at the Battle of Saint-L. He later saw occupation duty while stationed in Scharding, Austria, during the summer of 1945.


After he returned to the states, Stan earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio State University and was the editor of The Ohio State Lantern newspaper. He began a newspaper career that spanned more than 40 years, with early stops at the Long Island Daily Press and The Fresno Bee. He moved to the Portland area in the mid-1950s and was the advertising director at the Milwaukie Review weekly newspaper for seven years. He transitioned to The Oregonian and became a staff writer, a position he held for 30 years until he retired. His assignments included labor, state politics, human interest stories and the Portland/Washington Park Zoo.


In his spare time, Stan worked as a freelance writer and was published in many popular magazines, including Smithsonian, American Way and WWII History. His articles covered a diverse range of storytelling, from the timeless game of bocce played in San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square to the pioneering dentistry of Paul Revere.


Stan met his wife, Lorraine, when they were both active with the Portland Civic Theatre. They married in 1957 and moved from Portland to Milwaukie in 1960. They were married for 60 years until Lorraine's death in 2018 at the age of 89.


An avid sports fan all his life, Stan coached youth baseball teams for several summers during the 1970s. He participated in bowling leagues in Milwaukie and Gladstone, and played on a senior softball team after he retired. In later years, he had a trio of basset hounds who kept him active with daily walks.


Celia was predeceased by her parents, Philip and Hilda Steinbock; brothers, Nathan Jay Steinbock and Irving Steinbock; sisters, Helen Sharon Carter, Lottie Kaufman and Ruthie Subotnick; and daughter, Jennifer Hinkle (z"l).


A career in the textile business culminated with his formation of a textile manufacturing company in Elberton, Georgia. At its height, the company created hundreds of jobs and sold products internationally. An innovative employer and loving husband and father, Ron was a self-made, self-taught man with a wide range of interests and a deep love of reading and learning.


Born and raised in Eugene, Nathan had traveled to Mexico and Cuba before he decided to go to Israel in 1973. He spent a couple of months studying archaeology and persuaded a friend who worked at a local TV station to get him press credentials. He had planned to take photos of an archaeological dig at Tel Qasile. But Nathan and his Leica camera were swept up in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. As the war began, he hitched a ride to military headquarters and presented his U.S. press pass and passport to a harried press officer, who gave him Israeli press credentials. An IDF unit allowed him to join them and take photos for the 19 days of the war. In 2018, Nathan donated intimate portraits of Israeli soldiers and battles to an appropriate home in the National Library of Israel. You can see part of the collection at -soldiers/.


Bob and his wife Jan were part of the original group of founders of Congregation Kol Ami. Bob's contributions to the Vancouver Jewish congregation have come in many ways, but primarily in his attention to detail when it came to the congregational budget and financial affairs and his willingness to always offer physical labor when it came to moving chairs, building a sukkah, maintaining the Torah and helping in the library.


In 1989, grandbabies brought Muriel and Irv to Oregon, where she continued working as a therapist until she retired at age 80. Muriel and Irv were pivotal to the creation and growth of Kol Shalom, where she continued to try and cure the world of its injustices. She was proud to call herself a cultural and humanistic Jew. She embraced culture from her Jewish heritage, to her love of music, theater, opera, dance, art, books, travel and food. She enjoyed nature, beach walks and laughing.


The best way to honor her memory is to continue her fight against social injustice. Volunteer, email your elected officials, and get out and just talk to folks. Hug often and pursue your own passions.

Victoria was born in Seattle on Oct. 30, 1941, to Morris and Lily Cordova. Her early education included attending Franklin High School where she achieved a close to perfect GPA. She attended Whitman University and received a degree in political science; she then became a Fulbright Scholar and joined the United States State Department and became a Cultural Affairs Officer. She had a 30 + year career and was posted in Latin America, Europe, Canada and West Africa. She retired to Washington, D.C., and lived in Northwest Washington until her passing.


Her interests included music (she was a proficient flute player through high school and later in life developed skills as a cellist, joining others in a small ensemble). She loved the opera and musical performances. Victoria was a volunteer at the Kennedy Center as a member of the Womens Committee of the National Symphony Opera greeting and welcoming patrons to open rehearsals and special performances of the NSO, as well as participating in instrument petting zoos for children, and other activities. She was a garden docent at the Hillwood Estate, Museum, and Garden (former home of Marjorie Merriweather Post) located in Northwest Washington, D.C., less than one-third of a mile from Victorias house. She was a 20-year veteran docent at Hillwood. She had a life long fondness for cats and her friends have found a foster home for her beloved Pasha.


She developed a rapidly progressive illness in 2020 and spent her last days in her home in Washington, D.C. The family is most grateful for the team of care managers, care givers and hospice nurses who made it possible for her to remain at home as she wished. Her youngest first cousin, Dr. Lee Cordova, who lives in Portland, had the privilege of overseeing her medical care and support services during the last year of her life.
