Fritzi was born in Brooklyn, NY on February 23, 1919. She was eldest of three children. Both her parents were immigrants, her mother hailing from Russia and her father from Poland. Fritzi was among the few women to graduate from NYU, though she didn’t actively pursue a career. It was during a stay as a guest at a Catskills hotel that she met Max Siegel, a student working as a waiter. They married on November 23, 1941. Max went on to earn his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and gained international renown in his field. In November 2023, Fritzi transitioned to the Assisted Living area of Sinai Residences, where she is highly regarded by fellow residents.
