Kawther Jabbur

Kawther was a dear friend to me, pretty much my Lebanese mother. She hosted my wife, Andrea, and me countless times at her home in Albany. Her cooking was legendary; I´m sure I´ll spend my whole life trying unsuccessfully to replicate her incredible Tabouleh. I was so sad when she left for Lebanon, but know how happy she was to live near Norma. All my love to Rima and Norma, who were both always first in her heart. She was an amazing, wonderful, beautiful , charismatic, extremely colorful...

My aunty Kawther was unique .She was a lovely hostess.I visited her on occasional weekends during my MFA years at Pratt N.Y..She loved my Art & I was always her favored niece "Manaish".We giggled a lot & chatted a lot.We love her & cherish her memories..God bless.R.I.P.

It was my privilege and pleasure to meet and enjoy the friendship of Kawther during our decade´s association with Capitol Hill Choral Society, which she enthusiastically and actively participated in as chorister and board member. I was immediately attracted and fascinated by this rara avis, whose cosmopolitanism and exotic charm made her stand out amidst the relatively provincial society of upstate New York. Memories of numerous times spent in her engaging company remain among my happiest...

What a life well lived. When I met Kawther, who was a friend of my Mama ~ Antonia, I was mesmerized by her zest for life, languages, music and fashion. My love of tabbouleh came from Kawther. I recall her biggest pride and joy ~ her daughters. My condolences to you and your families. Cindi
