Sophie (Lewites) Litwin and her husband, Samuel Litwin, are buried at Oheb Shalom Cemetery, in Hillside, New Jersey. I got a chance to briefly visit during our annual summer drive to visit family in southern New Jersey. We found the burial plot just as the rain started.

Sophie was a sister of Emanuel Levitas (who is
buried on Staten Island, NY) and Max Levitt (who is
buried in Woodbine, NJ). I wrote about Assemblyman David Litwin
here.
Interesting to note that these gravestones do not include any Hebrew. This is the first Jewish cemetery that I have visited that had many gravestones without Hebrew inscriptions.
