      Of Swampscott, Salem and Peabody, Massachusetts. Lila was predeceased by her parents, Edith and Milton Kahn, and by Melvin Musinsky, her husband of 52 years, and by her sister Betty White (124905213 ) and Betty’s husband Lesner and her brother Martin Kahn. Born in Brookline, MA, on April 24, 1928, she remained close with her elementary school friends throughout her life. She earned an Associate’s degree from Endicott College, after which she married her true love Melvin Musinsky on the day after Valentine’s Day, 1948. She moved to Swampscott, Massachusetts, where they raised their family. A long-time member of Kernwood Country Club, she was an avid golfer, scoring her first hole-in-one at the age of 71. She continued to play golf into her 80s. Lila was also a master bridge player, a voracious reader, and a lover of symphony, art, and especially gardening. Most important throughout her life were her family and friends. Her devotion was evidenced by continued relationships she shared with them even as her Alzheimer’s progressed. She is survived by her children, Ellen Musinsky and her spouse Diane Padilla, Amy Musinsky, and Susan Musinsky and her spouse David Krieger, her grandchildren Rebecca and Eli Krieger, as well as a huge and connected extended family.
