Libby Malka Schwartz

Rest in Peace Ms. Schwartz. I had her class in 98-99 and though English came naturally to me (I'd end up majoring in it in college) I would sometimes coast and not try because it came so naturally. Ms. Schwartz never let me do that. She graded fairly harshly early on and while it was rough in the moment, it prepared me immeasurably for what would be coming from my college professors. Be at peace knowing you changed so many lives.

I am truly saddened by Libby's sudden demise. Her positive, generous demeanor was always in evidence, whenever we came together at the numerous family gatherings during and after the life of my late wife, Diane, her first cousin, and I visited Philadelphia. I have lost a cousin of whom I was very fond.

Ms. Schwartz was my English teacher at Northeast High School from 1983 till I graduated in 1986. She was an amazing teacher who truly dedicated her time and professional skills to make numerous students including myself feel like family to her while in her class. Outside of school, her personality was amazing and we became friends often keeping in touch for years. She'll be sadly missed by numerous students including myself who she taught over the many years of her teaching at Northeast High...

Libby was my colleague at Northeast High School. She was a caring teacher and a good soul. Alav ha shalom

May all your beautiful and precious memories of Libby fill your hearts with love, and pray God gives you comfort, peace and strength during this difficult time. 2nd Thessalonians 2:16-17.

With enormous sadness I herald the life of my friend Libby, my daily Minyan leader in BZBI for many years. I honor the role she played in creating a comfortable haven for those who grieve. Her energy and devotion to each and every one of us was absolutely remarkable. May her memory and name be a blessing always.
