Edith Meininger

Edith Meininger (nee Goldfarb) passed away peacefully at the age of 100 at Geer Village in Canaan, CT.

She grew up in the Bronx, NY where her mother Helen’s family moved in the early 1900’s to escape the Russian pogroms. She was predeceased by Henry, her husband of 66 years, who she met on a ski trip. She practiced psychology in New York City for many years before relocating to Austerlitz, NY. She experienced great joy in her many friendships, especially with members of her beloved book club.

She is survived by her daughter Claudia, son-in-law Joe, grandchildren Hannah and Eli, step-granddaughter Suzanne, her wife Allison, and great-granddaughter Arlo.

In keeping with Edith’s wishes there will be no funeral. A private burial service for family will be held at Chatham Rural Cemetery.
