Born in Providence, a daughter of the late Hyman and Esther (Zuckerman) Dressler, she was a life-long resident of the area.
A loving wife, mother, sister, mommom and friend she will be deeply missed by everyone.
Survivors include: two loving daughters, Susan Kaplan and her husband Saul of Providence and Maureen Krensky and her husband Alan of Sudbury, MA; four grandchildren, Rachel Caldwell and her husband Benjamin, Adam Kaplan, Alyssa Kaplan and her fiancé Robert Forgione, and Mollie Krensky; three great grandchildren, Rory, Reese and Remy Caldwell; one brother, Max Dressler and his wife Rona and many nieces and nephews. She was the sister of the late Naomi Keller, Laura Bernstein, Earl Dressler and Priscila Baker.
As the matriarch of her family, Ileane was the glue that kept our large family and friends close and made sure family traditions continued to thrive and flourish. Mommom’s matzah ball soup and homemade pies were legendary. She got great joy from feeding and nourishing her family and friends.
