She was a proud member of the Horowitz-Margaretten family. She is survived by her husband Richard Chaitin, brother Robert Staub, MD (Kay T. Staub, z"l, Nelia Magbitang), sister-in-law and brother-in-law Alan and Ann Chaitin, sisters-in-law Sandy Borak and Johanna Robbins, children Rabbi Eric Weiss (Dan Alpert), Wendy Weiss (Andi Gletty), Lauren Weiss, and Andrea Weiss Farb (Lee Farb, z"l), grandchildren Alison and Daniel Farb, and numerous loving cousins, nephews, nieces, and friends.
