She died hours apart from her husband last Saturday. She was 97, they were married for 72 years. They both had heart attacks, a spokesman said that her husband told her Friday night "Sweetie it's time for us to go".

 

She sold her handbag company in 1993 for 16 million dollars.

It sounds like she had a long and loving/loved life.  How beautiful.

My great-grandparents died within 3 hours of each other.  We were with my great-grandmother when she passed at the hospital and my great-grandfather said, "life isn't going to be worth living without her."  When we arrived home, he went into his room to take a nap after having sat at her bedside for almost 2 days with little sleep, when my Mom checked on him an hour or so later, he was gone.  I envy couple like them and Mrs. Lieber and her spouse. What a beautiful tribute to their love for one another.
