Ilana Abugov, 48

June 27, 2024

Ilana Abugov, 48, of Leola, PA passed away unexpectedly on June 27, 2024, in Earl Township, PA. Ilana Abugov was born in Montreal, Canada, to Belle (Harovitz) Abugov and the late Maynard Neil Abugov.

Ilana graduated from Plantation High School in Plantation, Florida in 1994 and went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration from Kaplan University. She started her career as a Patient Care Coordinator and went on to work for Extended Family Care for 10 years. Ilana absolutely cherished all animals especially cats and will be missed by her beloved Sachi and Murphy. She loved every possible dessert, shopping, doing her nails and being very girly. Ilana enjoyed listening to punk/rock music and loved to have a good time.

Ilana was best known for her loving, gentle nature and that infectious laugh. People gravitated towards her warmth. She was unique, funny, and considered a “mini hurricane” to some but was so very special and will be greatly missed by so many.

In addition to her mother, Belle Abugov, Ilana is survived by a sister, Leanne Abugov-Schaller, wife of Joe; her nephew Ryan Schaller; and her significant other, Seth A. Gehman. Ilana is preceded in death by her father, Maynard Neil Abugov.

Family and friends will be received from 9AM-10:30AM on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Ilana will be laid to rest at Conestoga Memorial Park.

I only got to work with Ilana for 4 months, but in that short period of time, she showed me what a truly beautiful person she was. Her flower child wardrobe always brought a smile to my face. Her laugh was one of a kind and never fake. She never turned away a dessert, especially cake!! We all knew to get our piece because once refrigerated, it was fair game and Ilana was quick to claim the prize. She will truly be missed by her work family.

To: Ilana’s Family:
My condolences to you all.  I am a client of Extended Family Care, and Ilana & I had some good laughs, at times. I just wanted to put a face to her voice.  I’m sure, now, she would want me to ask you to read Isa. 53!!!  She was a special, unique individual.  Her cats will surely miss her.
