She was 95 years old.
Mrs. Leitner was an 8th generation American who grew up during the Great Depression in the Bronx and then in Queens. She came from a modest home with meager means which taught her the value of chesed and tzedakah. She was influenced by her mother from an early age to take pride as a Jew which later influenced her love for Israel.

A gifted woman, she dedicated her 45-year career to teaching and counseling youth in the NYC public school system. She passed her quest for knowledge and passion for reading on to her children and many students. She was also a talented painter, writer, and knitter.
