YoungPa & YoungMa
That is what the grandchildren called them, a play on Grandpa: he didn’t want to be grand, he wanted to be young. After his passing, Etta became Savta, and that is how everyone remembers her.

A request, written on the 1990 tree
Etta requested that anyone named after her should not be given an English name.
The note sits beside Etta Levine of Neustadt, Lithuania, at the top of the Levin line on the family tree drawn around 1990. She was the great-grandmother of Etta Rea Vogel ע״ה.
