Gita Zikherman-Greisdorf was born in Daugavpils, Latvia. She lived there from 1931-1971. She was a high school teacher, teaching Russian language and literature. She was a passionate educator, often taking her students to the opera, symphony and theater. She was married to Gary, and has a daughter named Luba, and a son named Jacob. When the opportunity came to leave Russia, the family emigrated to Israel. Gary had a brother in the US, and he wanted his whole family to be together. So they left Israel and moved to the Detroit area in 1972.

Since then, the family has established a successful jewelry store, celebrating over 40 years in business.

Today, Gita is enjoying a beautiful family with 4 grandchildren, who she is always trying to teach the lessons of life.
