Mary Lieber

Beloved wife of the late Arthur Lieber, Jr.; dear mother and mother-in-law of Mary (Steven) Schoolman, Arthur H. (Gloria) Lieber, and Robert Lieber; dear grandmother of Benjamin (Abby) Schoolman and Jessica Schoolman; dear great-grandmother of Brayden, Owen, Samantha and Lucy Schoolman; dear sister of the late Lucy (late Carl) Angeleri; dear aunt of Michael and Alvin Mendle.

Mary, born in New Rochelle, NY grew up in New York City. At age 20 she met Arthur on a visit to St Louis, fell in love, married 11/3/43, and moved to St. Louis in 1945. Mary graduated from The Juilliard School of Music as a vocal major. She sang in many music venues including the St Louis Symphony Chorus, Ladies Friday Music Club, and her Temple and neighborhood church choirs. Mary was a gifted needle pointer. Her creations were a marvel, and brought joy to so many. Her passion for dogs and the importance of their companionship for seniors prompted her to provide generous seed funding for the first seniors match adoption program at Stray Rescue. Her philanthropy was legendary in many sectors of the non-profit world. She had an indomitable spirit and inspired all that knew her with her ability to overcome challenges as she aged. She will be dearly missed.

Memorial service Sunday, February 12th, 2 PM at Temple Emanuel, 12166 Conway Road. No visitation prior to the service. Memorial contributions preferred to the ACLU, Stray Rescue or the charity of your choice.
