Obituary of Lenore Liff

Lenore Liff, born December 17, 1925, in the Bronx, NY, peacefully passed on Sunday April 3rd in Boca Raton, FL, at the young age of 90, with her whole family by her side. Lenore (the city girl) married Ralph, a handsome country boy from Bethel NY. She met him while visiting her cousins' bungalow colony on Happy Ave, which soon after became her home. This Sunday April 10th would've been their 68th anniversary. For nearly 20 years she worked as a librarian for the Cornelius Duggan School in Bethel NY. The loving couple had a passion for dancing and belonged to the "Happy Footers" square dance club for 33 years. Lenore had traveled extensively throughout the world with her sister Edith and other close relatives. After retiring they moved to Century Village, Boca Raton Fl to continue their very active lifestyle. They met and forged tons of new relationships with the residents of Century Village while attending Bingo, Sing Along's, shows, and the many other activities at the club. A local Boca newspaper published an article, "Are they Coming or Going?" Truly a tribute to a dynamite couple with endless energy. Lenore had a full and wonderful life with Ralph (98yrs young). The most important thing to both of them was their beautiful family and how much joy they all brought to her. She will be greatly missed by her children, Janice Gray Wasserman and husband Tom, son Ira Liff and wife Vivian. Grandchildren Justin and Meredith Gray, Andrew Liff, Samantha and husband Eric Garchik. Great grandchild Julian Garchik. Sister Edith Hiller, husband Bernie, and many, many wonderful nieces, nephews, cousins & lifelong dear friends. She was predeceased by Brother Julian Finnell. A funeral service will take place on Sunday April 10, 2016 at 11:00AM at the Joseph N. Garlick Funeral Home, Inc. 388 Broadway Monticello, NY 12701. Burial will immediately follow in the Temple Beth-El Cemetery on Route 17B Bethel, NY. There will be a "celebration" of her life at the White Lake Fire House (Rt 17B) in White Lake NY after the burial This would be the perfect place for those of you who'd like to share a special story or memory of her. Due to the family returning to Florida, shiva will be Monday and Tuesday at the Wasserman Residence in Bethel.
