THE CHAYT FAMILY HISTORY BOOK


The Family of Estelle And Morris Spaiser


Estelle met Maurice (Morris) Spaiser who was born in Paris France. (Morris' parents, like Zaida and Bubba, migrated there - but from Poland - on their way to the U.S.A).

Estelle and Morris met at a "Club Francais" -- a French social club here in the US that they both attended. They were married on January 25, 1929. They lived in Bensonhurst Brooklyn where Annette and Leslie were born. Later they moved to a Co-op in the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn and then to Fort Lauderdale Florida in 1971.

In Florida they made many new friends and were eventually joined by most of the family. In their retirement they enjoyed cruising and traveling and also often visited Annette in California and Leslie in Massachusetts.

In April, 1980, Morris died after fighting pancreatic cancer for over a year and Estelle moved to an adult facility shortly thereafter. She died on December 13, 1993 of complications associated with liver failure.
