Leah E. Liss

LISS LEAH E. (nee BARSKY) Passed away peacefully on August 14, 2021, in Ewing. NJ, a month shy of her 82nd birthday. She was the oldest daughter of Morton and Rose (Leibovitz). Her father was a jeweler, and her mother was a seamstress and supervisor. After graduating from Olney High School, Leah worked as a secretary. She was introduced to her future husband Alan by a mutual friend and were married for 56 years. Leah was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. Her focus was on raising her children and following her grandsons. Leah really enjoyed needlepoint, creating works that reflected her family and their interests. She was most happy in recent years with larger family gatherings, especially celebrating her 80th birthday with extended family. Leah lived her entire life in the Phila. area, including raising her children in Langhorne, before moving to Abrams Residence several years ago. Despite dealing with multiple serious health problems in recent years, she maintained a sense of stubbornness to deal with these issues and continue on. The staff at Abrams Residence and Greenwood House said she maintained her sense of humor all throughout her stay. She is survived by her husband Alan, Langhorne, PA, children Audrey Liss, Newtown, PA and Michael Liss (Beth), of Kansas City, MO; her sister Sandy Kravitz (Kenny), Elkins Park, PA, her grandsons Zachary and Drew Liss, Kansas City, MO; her extended family and her close friends Vivian Specter and Esther Mcgill. Relatives and friends are invited to Services (masks are required) Wednesday, August 18, 2021, 10:30 A.M., JOSEPH LEVEINE & SONS MEMORIAL CHAPEL, 4737 Street Rd., Trevose, PA. Interment will follow at Har Zion Cemetery. The family wishes to acknowledge Abrams Residence and Greenwood House for the compassionate care provided to Leah over the last several years. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial gifts in Leah's memory be made to Abrams Residence at Greenwood House, Ewing, NJ, (www.greenwoodhouse.org) or to a charity of the donor's choice.
