Sadly, Anna Levine (z”l) passed away from coronavirus on April 22 at the age of 91. Happily, she had led an amazing life before her death. Anna became an attorney at 62; she marched for civil rights with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and was present for his “I Have Dream Speech”; she demonstrated at the U.S. Supreme Court for same-sex marriage; she helped the unemployed and many others; she survived cancer — twice.

Quote: “She viewed life as ‘nothing but an adventure.’ From politics to poverty, gender to genocide, her passions and compassionate nature led to her involvement in many causes including fierce defense of the separation of church and state, group homes, religious freedom and many other issues of note. Underscoring a love of the law, she carried with her a copy of the US Constitution.” — from the obituary of Anna Levine (linked below)
