DORIS FARBER Obituary

FARBER--Doris. On behalf of the New York University and NYU Langone Medical Center community, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Doris Farber. Her late husband, Saul, served our medical school with distinction as chairman of medicine and dean in a career lasting more than half a century. Over those years, many of our faculty, staff, and trustees came to know and cherish Doris not only for her foremost support of Saul and NYU, but for her warmth, intelligence, and graciousness. We extend our deepest sympathies to her children, Beth and Joshua, and her entire family. Martin Lipton, Chair, NYU Board of Trustees; Kenneth Langone, Chair, NYU Langone Medical Center Board of Trustees; John Sexton, President, New York University; Robert Berne, Executive Vice President for Health, New York University; Robert I. Grossman, MD, Dean and CEO, NYU Langone Medical Center.

I was only a planet orbiting her sun, just a flickering faraway star. I fell in love with her, getting closer in her last years.
Last Passover I had to command her loudly to get off the ladder she climbed in order to reach her Seder plates collection. She did not trust me, you see, being only 20 years her junior.
