Mrs. Melba Rieback of Bronx, NY, Long Island, NY, and Tamarac, FL passed away on December 15, 2018 at the age of 93. She will be remembered as a loving, caring, and unconditionally supportive wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. As a young woman during WWII, she worked at CBS in Manhattan before marrying the love of her life, Bob. She moved with her husband and three children to South Florida in 1965 where she eventually became an entrepreneur and business owner. She created, owned, and operated Melba Boutique, a fashion-forward women’s clothing store with two store fronts in Hollywood and Lauderhill, FL. In retirement, Melba enjoyed traveling the world and visited exotic destinations such as China, Greece, and Israel with her second husband, Harry. A lover of the arts, Melba was a patron of the theater, art museums, and even the children’s science museum where she could be found with multiple grandchildren in tow. She is preceded in death by her parents, brothers, and husbands (Robert Rieback and Harry Lefenfeld). She will be missed dearly and forever cherished by her children (Seth and Rosemary Rieback, Jessica and Robert Lieberman, and Robin and Brian Feldman), her grandchildren (Andrea Levy, Britt and Scott Platoff, Pamela and David Belinkie, Randi and Greg Brazeau, Eric and Catherine Lieberman, and Matthew and Tina Feldman), and her great-grandchildren (Jordyn, Aiden, Marin, Ian, Logan, Ryland, Hayden, and Dylan). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association (American Heart Association Memorial Donations).
