Edith Lieber, a cherished resident of Ocean Beach and Manhattan, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2025, at the age of 101. Surrounded by her loving family, her life was a tapestry of rich experiences that left a lasting impact on those who knew her.
A memorial service to celebrate her life is set for January 11, 2025, at noon. The service will take place at the Greenwich Village Funeral Home, located at 199 Bleeker Street. Family and friends are invited to gather and pay their respects to a woman whose warmth and spirit touched many lives.
In lieu of flowers, the Lieber family requests that donations be made to the Jazz Foundation of America, a cause that holds special significance for them. This gesture reflects Edith’s lifelong passion for music and her commitment to supporting the arts.
As a tribute to her legacy, a formal obituary will be published in the Fire Island News when the publication season resumes on Memorial Day Weekend. The family hopes that sharing her story will inspire others and keep her memory alive.
Edith’s journey through life was marked by her love for family, friends, and community. She is survived by her devoted husband, Leslie Lieber, and her children, who fondly remember the moments spent together. Family photographs, including one of Edith and Leslie at their Fire Island home, reflect a life filled with joy and connection.
May her memory always be a blessing.
