  Lillian Beatrice (Farber) Troop, 92, passed away peacefully in her residence surrounded by her family on February 13, 2023.

  Lillian was born in Philadelphia, PA to Benjamin and Yetta Farber and was welcomed by her grandmother, four older siblings, nieces, nephews, and many cousins. Lillian graduated from Gratz High School, was inducted into the National Honor Society, and started working in the insurance field.

  She met her loving husband, Joseph Troop, on a blind date and never looked back. They ventured to Atlanta, GA when their children, Andrew and Toni, were young, and together they ran Troop Construction Corporation. Lillian was devoted to the Jewish community, through ORT, National Council of Jewish Women, as an active parent at the Hebrew Academy of Atlanta (now Greenfield) and founding charter member of Temple Sinai of Atlanta. Lillian’s commitment to Jewish values led her to a position with the Atlanta Chapter of the American Jewish Committee where she thrived for over 23 years. Meeting dignitaries such as The Honorable John Lewis and supporting the evolution of The Atlanta Black-Jewish Coalition, ACCESS and other critical endeavors gave her purpose and connection.

  Lillian was perhaps most well known for her delicious chocolate-walnut mandelbrot and opening her home and her heart to everyone she met. A frequent chaperone for school field trips and BBYO events, a lover of games from Canasta to Gin Rummy and Mahjong, an avid reader of novels and auto-biographies, Lillian was also a founding and active member for almost fifty years of The Optimist Stock Club, which was created by women for women to learn more about the world of investments and open opportunities for financial independence.

  In her late 80s, after nearly 60 years in Atlanta, Lillian developed dementia and eventually moved to be with her children in the Boston area, where she lived and was lovingly cared for at the Goddard House for the past two years.

  Lillian was predeceased by her husband of 32 years. Lillian is survived by her son Andrew Troop, his wife Andrea Sussman and their children Jenna Troop and Joshua Troop; by her daughter Toni Troop and her wife Ilene Perlman; and many nieces, nephews, and their children and other relatives and dear friends.

  Lillian will be buried at Arlington Memorial Park on Wednesday, February 15 after services starting at 2pm at Temple Sinai of Atlanta. Following the burial, a reception and minyan will be held at Temple Sinai. The burial and the service will be available via Zoom (watch for link).

  In lieu of flowers, Lillian would have loved to see donations support three of her favorite organizations: American Jewish Committee, Atlanta Chapter, Temple Sinai of Atlanta, and Yiddish Book Center.
