        MOURNING the death of Lisbeth Stern, beloved wife,

  WHEREAS, There are certain outstanding members of our community who,
through their selfless commitment and dedication, have served to  better
the  quality of life in our community and have had a measurable positive
impact on the lives  of  its  residents;  Lisbeth  Stern  was  one  such
individual; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  with  profound  sorrow  and  deep regret that this
Legislative Body records  the  passing  of  Lisbeth  Stern,  noting  the
significance of her purposeful life and accomplishments; and

  WHEREAS,  Lisbeth  Stern  died  peacefully on the morning of Friday,
March 3, 2023, at the age of 89; and

  WHEREAS,  Lisbeth  Stern,  affectionately  known  as  Betty  by  her
countless  friends,  was born in New York City to Ruth and Joseph Sprinz
and raised in Mount Vernon, New York; and

  WHEREAS, A sculptor, teacher,  world  traveler,  and  a  spectacular
"grammy,"  Lisbeth  Stern's  creativity  and  impeccable taste permeated
everything she did; and

  WHEREAS,  With  a  steadfast  and  unwavering  commitment   to   her
community,  Lisbeth  Stern was a great supporter and board member of the
Katonah Museum of Art, where she was active for decades;  also  dear  to
her  heart  was her alma mater, Wheaton College, to which she remained a
loyal alumnus; and

  WHEREAS, Predeceased by the love of her life, Frank, and her sister,
Anne Schwartz, Lisbeth Stern is survived by her three  children,  Patti,
Lisa   and   Andrew;   sons-in-law,  Kevin  and  Daniel;  and  her  five
grandchildren, Samantha, Dylan, Bryn, Ben, and Matt; and

  WHEREAS, Lisbeth Stern's infinite selflessness and benevolence  will
shine  on through her family's vivid and happy memories; her insight and
strength will forever serve as a beacon of love, light and hope  to  the
countless lives she touched; and

  WHEREAS,  Armed  with a humanistic spirit and imbued with a sense of
compassion, Lisbeth Stern leaves behind a legacy which will long  endure
the  passage  of  time and will remain as a comforting memory to all who
were privileged to have known and loved such an amazing woman; she  will
be  deeply  missed  and  truly  merits  the  grateful  tribute  of  this
Legislative Body; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
mourn the death of Lisbeth Stern, and to express its deepest condolences
to her family; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
