Ilene Ethel Bunin

Age 85, passed away Friday, January 20, 2017.

Born August 6, 1931 to Israel and Bessie Handelman (nee Willer), she was the youngest of four children. Ilene graduated from P.S. duPont High School, attended the University of Delaware, and married another Wilmingtonian, David T. Bunin. Before they were married, she worked as a dental assistant in her brother-in-law's dental practice.

Ilene and David were married on June 14, 1953 and settled in Baltimore, MD. They were members of Baltimore Hebrew Congregation and she was involved in many activities, including as a Cub Scout Den Mother.

The family moved to Wynnewood, PA in 1970 and joined Main Line Reform Temple where Ilene was active in many roles including serving as Sisterhood President, active at the district level, and sold Union Grams. Later in life, Ilene sang with the Sisterhood Choir and joined her husband, who played piano, singing at nursing homes. She shared activities with her life-long friends, including going to the ballet, the theatre, and daily walks.

No matter what was going on with her, she was always interested in what was going on in your life. Her greatest pleasure in life, besides being a great cook and host for numerous family and social functions including the Pesach Seder, Crab Feasts, and "Sing For Your Supper," was her family: her husband and love of her life, her children and grandchildren, her siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews, and the family dog, Coco.
