A resolution on the death of Norvin R. Lindheim was adopted by Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization, the Governing Board of Hadassah Medical Organization and Junior Hadassah at a special meeting held Thursday.
“In the sudden and untimely passing of Norvin R. Lindheim, Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America has lost a devoted, tireless and self-sacrificing comrade in the great cause of Zion,” the resolution stated.
“In the furtherance of Hadassah’s health work in the Holy Land, he spared not of himself, leaving his personal interests to serve Hadassah on its commission to Palestine, and seconding at all times the yeoman service of his beloved wife. In the discharge of the task entrusted to his care, he served with loyalty, high-mindedness and ability.
“Be it Resolved, that the National Board of Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, the Junior Hadassah National Committee, and the Governing Board of the Hadassah Medical Organization, record its abiding gratitude for his services, its grief in his passing, and its loving sympathy with his noble and devoted helpmate, Irma L. Lindheim, President of Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America.”
