Libby Nieburg Obituary
She was born May 23, 1941 to Harry and Jean Gross of Philadelphia. She attended schools in Philadelphia and graduated from Temple University with a degree in Education.
She was a much-loved Kindergarten Teacher who taught over 1500 children over a 35-year career, with many ex-students meeting with her as adults.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 52 years, Gordon, and her 17-year old Tuxedo cat. She is also survived by her loving son, Michael and his wife, Lifang Nieburg, her loving daughter, Sharon, along with several grandchildren, Jordan, Jeffrey, Shawn, Christelle, Ellie and Savannah.
She loved traveling all around the world, and she was an avid hiker and mountain-climber.
For the past two decades, Libby, with her husband Gordon, had been a big part of the New Hope community she loved so much. Early on Libby was with a New Hope civic group called Partners In Progress, The New Hope Garden club, Concordia Chamber players, Chamber of Commerce, and The New Hope Parks and Recreation board. She and her husband were members of the New Hope Eagle Fire Company as Fire Police. They were both photo- journalists with the New Hope Gazette and Bucks County Herald for many years. Recently, Libby and Gordon were named Volunteers of the Year by the New Hope Historical Society.
The many, many friends and acquaintances she acquired were among her most precious treasures.
Burial will be held at Washington Crossing National Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Bucks County SPCA.

Libby is. It is impossible to think was as she affected so many people with her smile and her love and her high energy. Libby is. Libby is in our hearts. I know she is in mine.
She gave so much to our New Hope community with her beloved Gordon. She was a part of so many non-profits and community groups. Libby is. We are lucky to have her living in our hearts forever. I will miss seeing her. I will light a candle and say Kaddish. Love you, Libby. Love you, Gordon.

Dear Gordon,
We were so saddened by the news of Libby's passing. Even though we haven't seen you both for quite a while, we still have many happy memories of spending time and going places with you and Libby. You are in our prayers.
Fondly, Wendy and Rick Horowitz

Libby MISS GROSS was my kindergarten teacher in 1968. My mom and dad, Annette and Donald Golosman were great friends with Libby and Gordon from my mom teaching at Pollock school with Libby. They were always at the major events of the Golosmans lives. My 13th birthday, my sisters wedding, my nephews bar mitzvahs, my dads funeral. I will always be honored that she was my kindergarten teacher and was able to see her into my adult years. She was always upbeat and funny and energetic. I will miss her!
