Mitchell & Susan Levine: Planting Seeds for their Legacy
Last year our Jewish Community said l’hitraot to Dr. Mitchell and Susan Levine as they relocated to Memphis, Tennessee where Mitch is now serving as the new director of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) College of Dentistry’s Dental Sleep Medicine Clinic where he had previously been serving in a part time capacity.
The Levine’s called Jacksonville home for more than 30 years, where they raised four talented, kind and beautiful daughters, all while imbedding themselves in the Jewish community. Professionally, Mitchell spent more than three decades in private practice in Jacksonville, Florida, specializing in orthodontics and dental sleep medicine and Sue was a Vice President at Barnett Bank for 9 years, working as a portfolio manager for estates, trusts and charitable accounts. They displayed a passion and commitment to Jewish life through their generous philanthropy and volunteerism, serving on many boards and committees at our agencies and synagogues.
The Jewish Foundation is grateful to Mitch and Sue for having created a permanent legacy fund with the Jewish Foundation to represent their love for this community and all it has meant to them over the years.
The Susan and Mitchell Levine Endowment Fund will provide annual grants to the Martin J. Gottlieb Day School, Torah Academy, Jewish Federation's Annual Campaign, as well as the Michelle Block Gan Yeladim Preschool of the JCA. Knowing that each of these organizations have relied on their annual donations, the Levine’s were compelled to ensure that a gift would forever be in place for these beloved organizations.
Todah Rabah to the Levine family for their dedication to securing Jewish tomorrows here in Northeast Florida. Their passion for Jewish life and legacy of caring will be felt for years to come.
