OBITUARY:
Terry Levy Liebowitz, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 23, 2024, in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was 87 years old. Born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, Terry was a fighter, whose life was filled with devotion, accomplishment, and a steadfast love for those closest to her.
A proud graduate of the Academy of Richmond County and the University of Georgia, Terry's intelligence and determination were evident in all her pursuits. Terry met Jack Liebowitz at college, beginning a lifelong love story with their marriage in 1958 until his untimely death in 2008. Together, they built a family filled with love and cherished traditions.
Terry was a stable pillar of her community, dedicating her time and energy to volunteering in her children's schools, at her synagogue, and through various community initiatives. Her commitment to community included serving as a long-standing member of Adas Yeshurun Synagogue, where her leadership and vision were deeply valued.
In her professional life, Terry was a trailblazer, becoming one of the first in Georgia to earn the Qualified Pension Administrator designation. She retired in 2009, after a decades-long career highlighted by her excellence and professionalism.
In retirement Terry embraced life, spending time with family and friends, and finding joy in everyday moments. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and strength.
Above all, Terry was a fiercely devoted mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her family was her greatest source of pride and joy. She is predeceased by parents Beatrice Levy Kaplan, Saul Levy, and Ben Kaplan, beloved husband Jack Liebowitz, brother Louis Levy, and is survived by her children, Steven and Donna Liebowitz, Laura and George Fuhrman, and Susan and Michael La Kier, grandchildren Sarah and Michael Harris, Melissa and Jason Schwarz, Allison and Benjamin Schindler, Benjamin La Kier and Rachel La Kier, great-grandchildren Eilah and Shai Schwarz and Henry Harris, and many nieces and nephews who will carry her fighting spirit forward.
A funeral service will be held December 26, 2024 at 1pm at North Atlanta Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Adas Yeshurun Synagogue in Augusta, Georgia, Shir Chadash in Metairie, Louisiana, Congregation B'nai Torah in Atlanta, Georgia or the charity of choice, reflecting Terry's giving spirit.

Aunt Terry always had a twinkle in her eye which lit up the dreariest of days. Her smile always made me smile, and she listened and cared as if you mattered most in this world at that moment. We will miss her loving, kind spirit dearly.

We will miss Terry´s smile and happy disposition . She always had a struggle with her back problems, but never complained. I enjoyed knowing her at ARC and the Y, and in rehab after knee surgery and seeing her in the grocery store.. I am glad I had the chance to see her at Publix´s Just a few weeks ago. She was beautiful as usual and made my day. My sympathy to her family she loved dearly and always talked about you.
