her life, William Richard Pyburn of Danvers, Massachusetts, who

right, Elsie taught Sunday school at the Unitarian Fellowship in the
City of Newburgh, campaigned for candidates she believed would bring
peace and sanity, and helped to organize the Newburgh Historic
Preservation Association and the Society for Preservation of the
Alexander Hamilton, a Hudson River Dayliner. To her righteous crusades

Moses,
Sylvia Grueneberg of Riverdale, NY passed away peacefully at age 92; she
was surrounded by family and loving caretaker, Cherry. Sylvia or
"Schiffy", lived a productive and gutsy life. She was devoted to her
large family, contributed to her community and will be remembered for
her tenacity, wry sense of humor, love for her family, friends and a
fierce determination to live life the way she thought it should be
lived. Sylvia was born in Newburgh, NY, the youngest child of Isaac and
Bessie Moses. She was predeceased by her five siblings: Dorothy, Hymie,
Joe, Samuel "Labie" and Max "Mutt". She was married for 37 years to her
beloved Willie, who died in 1980. She also was predeceased by one of her
children, Norman. Sylvia leaves behind her daughter, Ilene of
Glastonbury, CT and sons and daughters-in-law: Barry and Susan of
Seattle, WA, David and Anita of Princeton Junction, NJ and Randy and
Tammy of Riverdale, NY. She will be sorely missed by her seven
grandchildren: Josh, Matt, Zachary, Seth, Robert, Daniel, and Jackie and
three great-grandchildren: Nicco, Dylan, and Madyson. Many nieces and
nephews will also miss her place as the family "elder". She will also be
sorely missed by her long-term caretaker, Cherry and more recent helper,
Annette. Schiffy was a great cook (the best brisket and noodle kugel to
be found), knitter, crossword puzzler, and avid shopper. She raised her
family, enjoyed working at Fashion Villa, always volunteered at the
synagogue, was President of the Ladies Auxiliary and in later years,
assisted at many Hadassah fundraisers and other charitable groups. She
was known to say "this is not a taking world. You have to give." Our
mom, grandma, friend was so full of life and energy...it was very hard
for her to be still...even in a wheelchair. The day before her death,
while lying in a hospital bed, she asked Cherry to "give me something to
do!" Schiffy's caretakers, Cherry and Annette, made an incredible
difference in "Grandma Schif's" ease and comfort and she loved them like
her family. We especially acknowledge Dr. Zeleznik who went far above
and beyond with her care for Sylvia during her most recent illness.
