Rachel Nahmias
July 11, 1931 — February 28, 2017
Rachel "Rae" Nahmias,
85, of Indianapolis, passed away February 28, 2017. A lifelong resident, she was born to Samuel and Pauline Meshulam on July 11, 1931. Rachel was a graduate of Manuel High School. She was a member of Etz Chaim Congregation, Etz Chaim Sisterhood, B'nai B'rith Women, and a life member of Hadassah.
Rae was the epitome of selflessness. She put all others before her; from helping to cook a meal to being a comfortable lap seat for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was also never one to complain; again, others before self. Even if she had just cause for objection, her go to phrase, "it doesn't matter to me", would come out of her mouth. She was described as the nicest person you could ever meet. Always quick with a laugh or offhanded joke. She was loved by all and will be missed by even more.
She is survived by her husband, Aaron; children, Carol (Rabbi Stanley Halpern) Halpern; Moe (Joetta) Nahmias; Steve (Helen) Nahmias, Scott (Trish) Nahmias, and Lenny (Dina) Nahmias; 12 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and sister, Rose (Abe) Black.
Funeral services will be held at Etz Chaim Congregation on Wednesday, March 1st at 2 PM. Burial will follow in the Etz Chaim Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
