Scope and content |
Ofira leaves her husband, aged 72, daughter Na'ama, 20, and son Erez, 19. Hundreds of mourners attented the funeral including current President Ezer Weizman, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, former Presidents Chaim Herzog and Efraim Katzir, Knesset Speaker Shevah Weiss, State Comptroller Miriam Ben-Porat, a number of Cabinet Ministers and Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek. Ofira Navon had previousiy beaten two successive bouts of breast cancer - the first attacking in 1979 just 15 months after her husband became president. She defied her doctor's orders to have a mastectomy and instead underwent painful treatment by radioactive needles and chemotherapy. It was this which sparked a movement eventually to change Israel's health regulations when mastectomy were no longer deemed compulsory in cases of breast cancer. Ofira Navon became a symbol to thousands of Israeli women to fight for personal choice in the fields of health and medicine. At that time Navon was just 43 and ~ glamorous Jackie Kennedy-style first lady with two small children. She was known however, not only for her beauty but for her academic achievements - a first degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a master's degree in psychology and adult education from the University of Georgia and a doctorate from Columbia University. In 1961, during her studies at Columbia she met then top aide to David Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Navon, and they were married two years later. At the funeral her husband read the notes that she had written from her hospital bed about her two last requests. The first was that the world should never give up the fight against cancer because every moment of human life is a gift from God. Her more personal request was for.
