Jane G Falk

Falk- Jane Grunbaum, a resident of Scarsdale for 65 years, born in Seattle, died peacefully at home on February 1, 2013, one month after her 105th birthday. Jane's kindness, generosity, sense of humor and energetic love of life were an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She loved travel- seeing the world and embracing new experiences. Her lifelong passion for dance and her love of children led her to teach and run dance programs first in Seattle and then in New York. She moved to New York City as a young bride in the 1930's when she married her beloved David, enthusiastically taking in the big city in all its diversity. She was an exceptional, always loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to so many. Jane will always be loved and remembered by her devoted family: her sons Robert and John, and her daughters-in-law Bobbie and Margee; her six grandchildren: Lisa Leibowitz (Larry), Julie Paget (Adam), Lee Solomon (Heather), Kathy DeWitt (Jeremy), David Falk (Jenn) and Heather Falk. She adored all of her great-grandchildren: Maia, Ben, Brian, Cassidy, Rachel, Dillon, Jack, Oscar, Lucia and Isak. Her family will always be grateful to her gentle and loving caregivers who were there for her until the end, Jaqui, Dee, Diana, Delfy and Claudia.
