After her first retirement and a move to California, for 30 years she taught courses in music appreciation, theory of music, and development of opera at Saddleback College, Emeritus Institute. She retired a second time in 2008 at the age of 95 but continued until recently to teach piano and voice privately in Laguna Woods.  This 1995 photo commemorates Leisure World’s honoring her as Resident of the Month.  Her educator husband of 48 years, Dr. Louis Landecker, died in 1985.  She is survived by her son Dr. Peter Landecker, astrophysicist. Read more about Mildred Landecker.
