Naomi Kleinfeld Lerner, a woman of valor and principles, devoted, loving, and beloved mother, wife, sister, daughter, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend, has moved on.
From the Bronx to Broadway, she danced with laughter and love across the United States, finally settling in California. Curious, fun, and sharp-witted, Naomi rooted for the underdog, penned poems to mark special occasions, and found something to admire in almost every person, animal, and thing. Nothing got past her. As “Red,” Naomi stole Hobbie’s heart at a tender age. As Aunt Naomi and Safta, she entertained and comforted generations of children. As Mrs. Lerner, she earned the respect and adoration of staff and students alike. She believed sincerely in your beauty and brilliance, even when you didn’t. Raise a glass of wine in her honor. She will be missed terribly. A private funeral service and burial will take place in California on March 24, 2022.
In lieu of flowers, her family asks that you make a donation to the Yiddish Book Center in her memory: http://www.yiddishbookcenter.

My grandmother was a miracle. I was blessed to have had an angel filled with unconditional love towards me on this earthly existence. A role model of how to be larger then humanity with a humble heart. Miss you Safta Naomi and pray that you are in peace & proud of yourself for the endless beauty you left in this world. Your forever in my heart, my thoughts & actions. Noa’la
