Frederick, MD — April 27, 2026, at age 91

Born March 8,1935, in Washington, DC; she went on to build her life in Rochester NY and passed peacefully in Frederick, MD. She was predeceased by her husband, Gerald (Jerry) Silver; daughter, Karen (Silver) Diener; granddaughter, Amanda Diener; and brother, Jerry Burke.

She was a friend to all, an avid mahjong player and lived by the simple but powerful mantra: “just be good.” She was lovingly known as “Bubbie” to her grandchildren.

Mitzi had a spark about her that drew people in. Whether she was telling a story or sitting around the table with loved ones. She made every moment feel special. She lived fully, loved deeply, and found happiness in life’s simplest pleasures.
