Susan Kleinberg

I write to share memories of my mom, Susan Kleinberg. I’ve had great love for her through my life. I’m so sad about this loss.

She raised me with devotion, as a single parent through all my years even through my current 61st year even through tough and difficult times. . She always has been a special person, devoted to being kind, generous, and so supportive to all her friends and family. My mother has always been equally as devoted to my daughter, Lauren, as well helping her to develop into the adult she is now She was very proud and hopeful about her future

Her family has always been so important to her. Her sister Gladys, her tragically passed in an accident. 14 years ago was so important to her life, and my mother was always grateful for the years she had with her. My mother was always the one who was sure that we all stayed connected as a family parent. My mom my mom always left on the same block as her parents and sister, so that I has an only child had my two cousins as brother and sister. My mom‘s parents were always a big part of my life as well.

Susan was also devoted to children through her career as a first grade teacher. Students expressed gratitude later in life as did their parents. At one point my mother retired when New York City offered buyout for senior teachers, but after a year she missed the meaning of her work so much, but she returned to elementary school teaching. She felt good about her work, accomplishments, and served as a great example for my daughter.

My mother was especially grateful to her sister not only for all the years of togetherness and also for forcing her to move to North Shore Towers where she spent the last 15 years of her life. . After the horrible accident, her sister was never able to make it to the building to the apartment she also bought but she also bought in North Shore Towers. Still, , my mother always felt this decision was the last gift from her sister as instead of being isolated she was able to spend this last period of her life with great friends who she could see all the time. There were , lots of activities that kept her active and engaged, and many happy times. I’m so grateful to all her friends from North Shore Towers for giving her this, and she was so devoted to all of you. I frequently heard how important you all were.

I’m grateful to my mother for all she gave up to get me through life and our tough circumstances, I will miss her deeply and wish her the best for her journey ahead
