Lenore Kutlow Tobin passed away peacefully on February 28th, 2021 after a seven year battle with vascular dementia. Her entire extended family is mourning her loss. She was 84 years old.
Born in New York City and reared in Miami Beach before returning to New York, Lenore was a great athlete during her summer camp and Calhoun High School years. She graduated from Barnard College in 1957.
Lenore loved singing and sharing her camp songs her whole life as well as playing the ukulele and square and line dancing. Lenore was rarely seen without her harmonica nearby and was always quick to play her favorite, "Oh Susannah" to a singing and clapping audience.
Throughout her life, Lenore was passionate about needlecrafts--knitting, sewing, needlepoint, and crewel embroidery to name a few. Each of her grandchildren has their own quilt, handcrafted with love during late, late nights.
Lenore was an active community member during her 50 years in Westhampton Beach, New York. When she was raising her children, she volunteered in the schools, led arts and crafts summer events, and organized adult education. Lenore was an involved real estate broker in the village for many years and cherished her professional friendships. Yet nothing made her happier than a crowded house and an overflowing table of family and friends.
Lenore, with her deep red hair, would love to be remembered as "Lenore doing Lenore," not doing what mainstream friends or relatives did. She was proud of standing alone if she needed to and always fought to make any wrongs right.
Lenore is survived by her three children, Jocelyn Tobin (Stu Weissman) of Longmeadow, MA, Alison Tobin of Denver, CO, and Michael Tobin (Danna Greenberg) of Wellesley, MA, and her 7 grandchildren, Nathan, Benjamin, Max, Gillian, Micaela, Jonah and Seth. She is also survived by her brother, Herb Kutlow (Dee) of Cardiff, CA and sister, Rosalee Kutlow Lubell of Tustin, CA, and Kutlow cousins always in her heart.
