Elsie (Salzman) Liber

Elsie Liber

Elsie Liber, age 95, died peacefully on August 17, 2018 at Toledo Hospital, surrounded by her loving family. Elsie was the second eldest of five daughters born to Henry and Ida Salzman. Elsie married the love of her life, Charles Liber on December 30, 1945. They were married for 46 years.

Elsie was all about family. She was truly dedicated to her five children as well as her many grandchildren and great grandchildren, her siblings and their families. We all so enjoyed listening to their stories of their summers at Luna Pier. Elsie was an active member of the Temple B'Nai Israel, served as President of the Sisterhood Board as well as a member of the JCC Board. She truly embraced her Jewish identity in her daily life.

Elsie was known for her athleticism. She began with alley baseball, tennis on "her court" at Luna Pier all the way to being a USTA Tennis Senior Champion in 1996. The highlight of her tennis career was in July of 1994, at the age of 70, Elsie represented the United States in tennis at the Maccabiah Games in Israel, one of 5600 participating athletes. She won the bronze medal.

Elsie was blessed with a wonderful life overflowing with family, friends and travel. The family feels so fortunate to have had her in their lives so long.

Elsie's family would like to acknowledge some of the very special people that helped keep her with us for so long: Hazzan Ivor Lichterman, Dr. Medkhour of UTMC, the Administrative staff and nursing care at West Park Place and Rick Salem of Rick's Diner.
