PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Anita E. (Kestenman) Solomon passed away Feb. 20 with her three daughters by her side. She was the wife of the late Eliot Solomon.

Born in Providence, she was a daughter of the late Abraham and Shirley (Cohn) Kestenman. She was a graduate of Hope High School. Following her parents, and with her husband Eliot, she had been the owner of Lloyds, one of the most popular restaurants on the East Side of Providence. Anita was a lifelong member of Temple Beth-El, an active participant in its Sisterhood and Garden Club, and a determined organizer of its kitchen. She proudly volunteered, and was later an employee, at Women & Infants Hospital.

Anita’s greatest joy was her family. She is survived by three daughters, Gail Solomon (Michael), Jamie Goldstein (Peter Glaude) and Judith Grant (Al); two sisters, Joan Solomon and Janet Neitlich; four grandchildren, Joshua (Nicole), Dana (Louis), Alexander (Noha), and Kady; one great-grandson, Ryder, and her beloved grand dog Oliver.

Contributions in her honor may be made to Temple Beth-El.
