Mira Lesley Kucharsky

Mira Lesley (Weiss) Kucharsky beloved wife, devoted mother, and cherished friend, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 20. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering love touched the lives of all who knew her.

Born on January 9, 1978, to the late Richard and Bette (Fishman) Weiss, Mira was a source of light and warmth to all who knew her. She had a rare gift for making people feel truly seen, valued, and cared for. Whether through a heartfelt conversation, a thoughtful gesture, or simply her reassuring presence, she formed deep and lasting connections with everyone she came in contact with.

Above all, iMra’s greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted wife to David Kucharsky, with whom she shared over 18 wonderful years of marriage, and a loving mother to Jeffrey (16) and Lindsey (13). Her children were the heart of her world, and she embraced every moment with them. She celebrated both of their academic successes and many accomplishments as their steadfast supporter and cheerleader.

Mira’s generosity extended beyond her immediate circle, as she was deeply involved in her community. Especially at Temple Emanu-El, which she attended as a child and where she had her Bat Mitzvah. As an adult, she served on the Board of Directors for several years and was involved in many aspects of the temple. It brought her and her husband much happiness that their children also attended the temple and are still involved with it today.

Mira received a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Syracuse University in 2000. After college, she moved to New York City working as a consultant for Accenture. In 2006 she began a career with Pfizer as a Senior Manager. After taking some time off in 2017 to care for her parents she eventually returned to Pfizer as a Director. Throughout her career she made meaningful contributions to the company while balancing her personal passions and commitment to family.

She is survived by her loving husband, David; her beloved children, Jeffrey and Lindsey; her brother, Clayton Weiss; her uncle, James Fishman and a wide circle of family and friends who will miss her beyond words.

Services will be held at Temple Emanu-El in Marblehead. Burial will be held privately. Given her lifelong involvement with the temple, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor at https://www.emanu-el.org/payment.php
