Fair Anne J. Leibowitz, 69
Family owns Guss’ Pickles
She was a smart woman who had the highest grades in her high school, attended college and taught French and English in the New York City school system in Brooklyn for five years.
Lawrence resident Anne J. Leibowitz died on Sept. 28, two days shy of her 47th wedding anniversary. She was 69.
A native of Pennsylvania, she graduated from Yardley High School, in the community of the same name. From there she went to American University in Washington, D.C.
She married Stephen Leibowitz in 1967. They moved to Lawrence four years later. They have also resided in Long Branch, NJ and Cancun, Mexico.
The Leibowitz family are co-owners of United Pickle Products Corp. and own Guss’ Pickles, which had a store on Central Avenue in Cedarhurst for seven years (2002-2009), run by Anne and Stephen’s son, Andrew. Now, the business is strictly wholesale, Stephen said. On the Guss’ Pickle website, Andrew is listed as “chief pickle maven.”
Guss’ Pickles was the last remaining store from the days when pickle vendors filled the streets of the Lower East Side. The store was featured in the 1988 movie “Crossing Delancey.”
In addition to Stephen and Andrew, Anne is survived by daughter-in-law Claire, grandchildren Madison and Dillon, and son Marc.
