Marjorie Liebowitz

SALISBURY —Marjorie Liebowitz, an early champion of women’s reproductive rights and beloved mother of four and grandmother of nine, died on Nov. 4, 2021, of COVID-19. She was 94.

Her husband of 66 years, Sidney Liebowitz, predeceased her.

Marjorie was one of those people who was good at everything she did and unfazed by anything. She was always ready to welcome another person to the table or lend a hand (or car) to someone in need.

Among her interests and talents were tennis, sailing, cooking, gardening, reading, crossword puzzles (always in ink), movies and traveling, especially to Italy and California’s Anza-Borrego Desert.

Marjorie was a graduate of the Cornell Nursing School and worked for Planned Parenthood for 35 years as director of their Northern Westchester office. During that time she also traveled to prisons and schools to talk about contraception and women’s health.

She worked as a volunteer for the local library wherever she lived, and was a passionate and active Democrat.

Marjorie Ann was born on July 12, 1927, in Honesdale, Pa., to Margaret and Albert Morrison.

She is survived by her children, Ellen, David and his wife, Carol, Barbara and her husband, Rob Bettigole, and Peter and his wife, Marsha; her sister, Clara Kelly of Honesdale; her grandchildren, Aaron, Charlie, Justin, Elliot, Alex, Zach, Dylan, Katie and Kendal; and eight great-grandchildren.

She will be buried in Lake Placid, N.Y., after a small family service. Arrangements are under the care of the Kenny Funeral Home in Sharon.
