Elizabeth Landau Kolman died peacefully on September 9, 2019. Elizabeth was born in New York City on November 1, 1941 to Sidney and Janice Landau. She graduated from Hunter High School and New York University. After a decade in adult education working for the City of New York, she returned to school to obtain degrees in clinical social work and psychotherapy. Dedicated to her work, she maintained a successful private practice for over 30 years in Rockland County before retiring in 2015. Elizabeth was predeceased by her beloved husband Laurence Kolman and by her sister Anne Landau. She is survived by her sister Sybil Landau; daughters Jacqueline Stern (Jeff Potash) and Sharon Stern (Dann Brown); step-children Michele Pomeranz (Mark) and Geoff Kolman (Jenny); and adored grandchildren Rebecca, Adam, Nick, Rosie, A.J. and Tyler. Elizabeth is also survived by her devoted companion Jerry Reiter, who brought great joy to Elizabeth over the last 3 years. With her dry humor and keen mind, Elizabeth's hobbies spanned traveling, voracious reading, theatre, and matching wits with friends over a good card game.
