ELIZABETH FULD Obituary

FULD--Elizabeth (Betty), passed away peacefully on January 19, 2024 with her loving family at her side. Her life was well-lived and she was well-loved. She was born to Jacob and Dora Schwab on February 12, 1919 in New York City. Had she been a boy, she would have been named Abe, after her birthday twin and her father's idol, Abe Lincoln. She was predeceased by her husband, Richard S. Fuld in 2011. Over the course of their long life together, Betty and Dick enjoyed traveling the globe and relished in their adventures. Back at home in Harrison, NY Betty discovered that she had a real gift for golf. One of her favorite golf partners was her younger brother, Martin Schwab who called her "Red." A great point of pride was winning the Women's Club Championship at Quaker Ridge Golf Club. Her volunteer life began as a jeep driver in the Women's Army Corps during WWII. She continued her life of service working in the gift shops at both Montefiore and White Plains Hospital. However, her most meaningful role in life was raising her two children, Suzi and Richard Jr. She is survived by her children, Suzi (Jeff) Marger and Richard (Kathy) Fuld, Jr; her grandchildren, Matthew (Erica) Buchsbaum, Merrie (Ken) Avallone, Meg Buchsbaum, Jackie (Howard) Schussler, Chrissie (Eric) Landy, Richie (Paige) Fuld III; great-grandchildren, Ali, Maddie, Isabel, Max, Jonathan, Laniey, Hannah and Charlotte; and her many nieces and nephews. Towards the end of her life, Betty received loving care from an extraordinary group of caregivers. Her family would like to thank Ana, Keisha, Ednah, Tasch, Doris and Ros Ann. We will miss Mom/Aunt Betty/Grammy deeply, but we are so grateful for all of the time we had with her. A private burial was held.
