From Edith Levin Izenberg (1923-2019) - Find a Grave Memorial: [8]
Edith L. Izenberg, a longtime resident of Albuquerque, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2019, following a brief illness. Edith is survived by her two children, Brian and Janice, and her grandchildren, Hallie and Eric. Edith was born in New York City, one of three children to Irving and Lena Levin. She spent several years in Vermont and returned to New York City with her parents early in the Great Depression.
Edith became an accomplished pianist in New York and graduated from the City College of New York with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. After graduating from college, she began working as a scriptwriter for a major broadcasting service and then moved into advertising. Edith took up skiing, tennis, and golf as a young woman.
On a sunny golf course, she met her husband, Ivan, a golfer. The two married in February of 1950, and throughout their marriage, which lasted 64 years, both would find time together to tee up. Thanks to her husband’s facility with foreign languages, she found herself packing and leaving the New York metro area for his first tour as a Foreign Service Officer assigned to Bangkok, Thailand. Edith subsequently accompanied her husband to assignments in Tokyo, Japan; Vientiane, Laos; Hong Kong (BCC); and Sydney, Australia.
She met and got to know personally many of the greats of the twentieth century. As a child, she once recited poetry to Robert Frost. As a student, she studied under the great Psychology humanist Abraham Maslow. She met Edwin Reischauer, Harvard scholar and U.S. ambassador to Japan when her husband was assigned to USIS Tokyo as an adult. She met James Michener and his wife, exchanging Christmas cards for years. Later, when Ivan was the Control Officer for the installation of the first Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China in Hong Kong, she was there, graciously entertaining Ambassador-Designate George H.W. Bush. Later, she danced with Ivan at his Inaugural ball. In Washington, D.C., she served as a docent at the National Gallery of Art for ten years, welcoming many art lovers to this excellent museum.
Upon retirement, Ivan and Edith established their longtime residence in the foothills of Northeast Albuquerque. Edith served as a docent for many years at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and was an avid bridge player.
