Meet Katie Lieber
Originally from New York City on the lower east side, Katie now calls Burlington, Vermont home. Her mother, an immigrant from the Ukraine worked in the garment industry and her father, a native New Yorker worked as a tailor. Katie loved growing up in New York City, especially being surrounded by a large family. She attended Hunter College in New York where she majored in Biology, then became a high school biology teacher. In 1940, after a 10-week courtship, she married Julius.
In the 1950’s, she and Julius managed Liebers Toyland for 15 years where they sold toys, furniture, newspapers, film, picnic supplies and general household items. The store was on the bottom floor and they resided in the living quarters upstairs. Katie and Julius also raised two children, Bruce and Susan.
While living in New York City, they enjoyed being close to the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, museums and Central Park. They also attended the parades on 5th Avenue and watched the ball drop in Times Square.
Katie said what brought her to Vermont was her daughter Susan, who at the time lived in Calais. “Coming from New York City to Calais was quite a change for me.” While in Calais, she worked with elementary school children to help them read. She also attended community events at Goddard College which she and her husband loved very much. From Calais, her journey continued northwest to Shelburne Bay where she lived for six years, then came to Heineberg Senior Housing in Burlington about one year ago. “What a great community I live in! We are right next door to the Heineberg Senior Center and I love to participate in the reading group. I also play board games and enjoy wonderful meals. Gail Moreau, who runs the Center, is simply wonderful.”
“I also participate in the Seniors Aging Safely at Home (SASH) program at Heineberg Senior Housing. It is teaching people with chronic diseases how to live a healthy life. It is so exciting for me to be part of this research project. They are helping us prevent falls and students and interns are helping to make our lives easier. I participate in a walking program, go out on community outings and enjoy time with my friends, going to the movies and eating Chinese food."
While she misses the glitz and glamour of New York City, she is enjoying all that Vermont has to offer. “Everyone is caring for each other; I think Vermonters are wonderful! I’m blessed to be here!”
