Text: Libby Sherman Kowalsky ‎(1872-1959)‎
Libby Sherman was born in Poland and immigrated to Utica at the age of 13. She married Wolf Kowalsky and the couple had four sons. Libby was known as the pioneer woman of the Utica Jewish community and was the leading unofficial social worker in the area. She was instrumental in establishing the Charles T. Sitrin Home, which originally opened as a 6-bed facility for convalescent Jewish men and women in 1951. She helped organize the Bikor Cholim Society, a society for caring for the sick, and served as the organization’s first president. She was a member of the Hadassah, Zionists Organization of America, New Israel Club, Council of Jewish Women, Sisterhood of Temple Beth El, Miller Street School Auxiliary, St. Elizabeth Hospital Guild, and the Red Cross. She received a letter of commendation from President Eisenhower in 1958 for her years of community service. Libby passed away in 1959 and is buried in the House of Israel Cemetery in Whitesboro.
