Haifa Municipality Lawyer Sapir Arma Passes Away at 33 After Cancer Battle
Attorney Sapir Arma, a respected legal department staffer at the Haifa Municipality, has died at 33 after battling cancer, leaving behind her husband and young son.
Attorney Sapir Arma, a respected member of the Haifa Municipality's legal department, has passed away at the age of 33 following a courageous battle with cancer. Her tragic death has left a profound void among her family, friends, and colleagues. She is survived by her husband, Eliezer, and their three-and-a-half-year-old son, Eliya.
Her husband, Eliezer, spoke openly about the difficult daily struggle against the illness and the extraordinary resilience his wife displayed throughout her ordeal. "I can say that every day she fought this disease, through treatments that succeeded and failed, and results that were positive and negative, yet she remained who she was—a fighter, strong and brave," he shared.
According to local media reports, motherhood remained Sapir's utmost priority, and even as her body weakened, she refused to relinquish her bond with her young son. During her final days in the hospital, despite struggling to speak, she insisted on maintaining her morning phone call routine with Eliya so he could hear her voice.
Sapir achieved her professional aspiration by joining the Haifa Municipality, where she began as an intern and later secured a permanent position in the legal department handling municipal collections and property taxes. Colleagues and family noted her dedication to helping residents with profound humanity. In her private life, she was deeply devout, quietly engaging in extensive acts of charity and kindness.
Colleague Inbal Hazan paid an emotional tribute: "As a lawyer, you were professional, intelligent, thorough, and driven by a sense of mission. You knew how to listen and see the person behind the files. Your child was your heart, your pride, and your joy."
