Barbara Posner

Barbara Posner, age 79, a longtime Rowayton resident, passed away, Thursday, September 4, 2014. Barbara's dedication and appreciation for her friends and family was remarkable. She maintained incredibly close relationships with many life-long friends and served with prideas the matriarch of her large, loving family. Nothing pleased Barb more than a room filled with friends and family for a holiday dinner. An avid reader and music lover, she was constantly surrounded by earmarked books and her favorite songs playing on loop. She loved to laugh and gather with friends at her favorite Rowayton beaches. Her contagious ear-to-ear smile and silly sense of humor brought light to everyone around her. She never hesitated to voice her deep pride and admiration for her children and grandchildren, who brought her immense joy. Barb's passion for people will always be remembered. She will be sorely missed by the many who loved her so. Survivors include her two sons Marc Posner and his wife Abigail of New York City and Seth Posner of Norwalk, three grandchildren, Elijah, Boaz, and Laila. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held Sunday, September 7, 2014 at 2:00 PM in the Spear-Miller Funeral Home, 39 S Benson Rd., Fairfield. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations in Barb's memory may be made to: Smile Train, 41 Madison Ave., 28th Floor, New York, NY 10010.
