Mimi Weisbord

Mimi loved to read- even at family functions she would often find an 'alone' spot and read a book she had brought with her. I believe her readings helped inspire her in her many wonderful artistic pursuits. So happy that Mimi is together through eternity with her husband, parents and, now, her beloved brother Marvin. You, Mimi, live on through your many beautiful artistic works.

My husband, daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting Mimi at a yoga camp in Quebec some years back. We had offered to drive her to Montreal and she was sweet enough to give us a book on asthma she’d found helpful in hopes it would help with our young daughter. I was just going through some papers when I came across postcards of her artwork she’d given us then. As I admired them I thought I’d look up the gallery when I saw the obituary and felt sadness at how fleeting time can be. While we...

In the mid ‘50s Mimi and I were friends at the University of Illinois at Urbana and then when she was living on Riverside Drive in NYC while I was a graduate student at Columbia. She was a wonderful friend whose smiling face and subtle humor remain in my memory. After 65 years I believed I could reconnect with Mimi, only to be saddened by her obituary. Dear Mimi, please Rest In Peace. You are treasured in my thoughts.

I met Mimi when I lived in NYC from 2010-2016, I was so lucky to consider Mimi my friend, she was one of the kindest people I ever met, with a sharp vision of culture and art. I wish I could have more time to spend talking to her about all the amazing things she knew. I will always remember my moments with her and Irv as some of my dearest memories of my stay in New York City. My love from Chile to her family.

Mimi, the best drawing teacher, a neighbor, friend, best friend, family. Although we were more than 30 years apart you were one of my best friends in nyc. I learned from you about feminism, art, life and motherhood. Your passions for travel, books, politics and art was contagious. Visitis to the Metropolitan Museum with you were a treasure, so much knowledge attention to details and love for art... visiting you in your house in Mexico was unforgettable. But most of all are our talks in the...
