BDE: Liba Schwartz, 81, OBM

With great sadness, we report the passing of Liba Schwartz OBM, a resident of Crown Heights and friend to many in the community. She passed away on Motzei Shabbos, the 13th of Sivan, 5782.

She was 81 years old, passing away just one day before her 82nd birthday on the 14th of Sivan.

Liba was a beloved and devoted friend to many – young and old – whose Tehillim worked wonders and whose talks and articles enriched the lives of many.

Her fascinating story was written up in the N’Shei Chabad Newsletter many years ago, detailing her journey from the church to Crown Heights and miraculously recovering her eyesight after being blind.

She was also known as a relative of a great Chabad Chossid Reb Alter Simchovitz, her great uncle.

The Levaya will take place today, Sunday, passing by 770 at approximately 1:30pm before continuing on to Montefiore Cemetery.
