OBITUARY
Grace Lipman Baumrind, age 100 ½ years young, of Atlanta, died peacefully at her home surrounded by her VERY loving family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Seymour, of 48 years and her devoted son, Jeff.
Grace always had a VERY close relationship with her two older sisters, Betty and Marcia. They were inseparable, close their entire lives and you rarely saw one without the other.
Grace lived an incredibly full life experiencing many things over her 100 years. She enjoyed many friendships, playing canasta and mah jong all while working her entire adult life. When asked her secret to longevity, she responded, “always stay active.” Grace and Seymour had many friends, which they enjoyed playing poker and participating in bowling leagues together.
At the young age of 90, she was blessed to have her first great grandchild and over the next 10 years, had 10 more: Ryder, Ari, Stella, Sean, Sadie, Grace, Morrison, Jude, Isha, Asher and Hudson. She truly had a special connection with each and everyone of them as well as her devoted grandchildren, Steven and Stephanie Baumrind, Dana and Adam Karp, Sarabess Baumrind and Brad Kauffman, Michael Baumrind and Henry Etsitty Jr, Ben Baumrind and Parul Jain, Jack and Lyndsey Swerdlin, Ryan and Rachel Swerdlin, and Robyn and Scott Kurpiel. Mama Grace and Papa Seymour attended every event in which their children and grandchildren participated. She took such pride in her family.
So many who loved her including her many VERY close nieces and nephews will miss her. Grace was a true matriarch in every sense of the word instilling family values to everyone. It was obvious because when people visited her, they would notice, comment and admire the numerous photos throughout her home.
Grace is survived by her four children: Emil and Marcia Baumrind and Cathy and Rick Swerdlin.
We are so grateful to our wonderful caregivers: Ovida Williams, Andrea Smith, Beverly Barrett, Serena Williams, Rita Moyo, Charity Gikonyo and the wonderful people at Longleaf Hospice Care.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ahavath Achim Synagogue or a charity of your choice.

I was so sad to hear of Grace's passing. I met her many years ago at one of the B reunions, and she and I talked almost the entire evening. Her kindness will always be remembered by her loving Fechter/Baumrind families.

Words are insufficient. Aunt Grace was the whole package. Loving, strong, family centered, strong Jewish faith, generous, great business sense, great work ethic, she had it all. She and Uncle Seymour were my loving parents away from home when I was attending Ga. Tech. And Emil, Jeff, and Kathy were my brothers and sisters. Thank you Aunt Grace for all you gave us and all you left us. Love always, Henry

Mama Grace always had her door open if I wanted to pop in her home! I often told her how lucky her children were to have her….and her reply was “ you plant potatoes you get potatoes.”Memories of growing up next door on Helen Drive will always be near and dear to my heart. She’s the last of my dad’s first cousins and she may have been his favorite! My love to the family.
