Helene Lieberman Obituary
ALBANY - Helene "Lee" Lieberman, 90, passed away on December 1, 2023, at The Teresian House. She was born in Newburgh, N.Y. to Harry and Sarah Alpern.
Lee left Newburgh at the age of 17 to attend Albany Teachers College (currently SUNY Albany) where shortly after she met and subsequently married the love of her life, Bert. They were married for 68 years before his passing in 2020.
Lee and Bert raised four daughters, Risa (d.2010), Joni (Don Basen), Marcy (Jeff Weisburgh), and Amy (Marc Flatt). They were so proud of their five grandchildren, Elyse (Jed Sigal), Betsy, Jenna, Ari (Jennifer) and Iyal. They were both so thrilled to meet their great-grandson, Riley Issac Sigal, when he was born three years ago. It gave her such joy and pride to hear him call her "GG Lee."
Lee was a passionate crafter and knitter which inspired her to become an entrepreneur and proprietor of the hugely successful A Stitch in Time yarn shop.
Lee loved to entertain and frequently lavished her family and friends in N.Y. and Fla. with spectacular dinner parties.
May these sweet reminiscences fill the hearts of those who loved her. May her memory be a blessing.
Those wishing to remember Lee in a special way can make memorial contributions in her name to The Einhorn Center for Jewish Education at Temple Beth Emeth, 100 Academy Rd., Albany, N.Y. 12208, or to the charity of your choice.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday December 3 at 1:00 p.m. at The Levine Memorial Chapel, 649 Washington Ave. in Albany followed by burial at Congregation Beth Abraham Jacob Cemetery, Western Ave., in Guilderland.

So sorry to hear of Mrs. Lieberman´s passing. I remember the modern decorating of her house that I loved so much. It was a cool house and she was always fun and progressive. Recently I was lucky to reconnect again when she came to St Peter´s a couple of times where I work. We are thinking of the whole family as my sister Debbies went to school with Marcy and I went to school with Amy.
