Ann E. Lefkowitz passed away peacefully on April 5, 2017. She had just celebrated her 100th birthday with her family and friends on January 11, 2017. She was an inspiration to everyone who knew her, and she still couldn’t believe she’d become a centenarian. Mrs. Lefkowitz was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She attended P.S. 179 and New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn. She was also graduated from Brooklyn College with a degree in history. Since moving to Cedar Street Commons in Livingston from Lakehurst, New Jersey 12 years ago, her greatest joys in life were spending time with her family, dining out, knitting, word jumbles, and playing mahjongg. Since she was born before women had the right to vote in the U.S., Mrs. Lefkowitz was quite proud to vote for the first female candidate for President of the United States this past November. She was an avid golfer in her younger years along with her beloved husband, Martin, who passed away in 1994. They had enjoyed many adventures together while traveling the world and exploring the U.S. in an RV. Mrs. Lefkowitz leaves behind her daughter, Linda Klass, married to Gerald Klass, and her son, David Lefkowitz, married to Judith Lefkowitz. She leaves behind her nine grandchildren and her 16 great-grandchildren, each of whom brought a smile to her face every day. If you’d like to honor Mrs. Lefkowitz, her family asks that a donation be made in her name to your local Meals on Wheels program.
