Esther Glazer of Remenburg died on December 27, 2018, just one week after her 95th birthday.

Born in Brooklyn on December 21, 1923, to Matilda and Louis Haber, she was the younger sister of two brothers, Morris and Lenny, both of whom predeceased her. In 1948 she married her next-door neighbor, William Glazer, who her family described as the “love of her life.” They had three children, all of whom survive, Louis (Paula), Susan (Mel), and Paul. They were married for 61 years until he died in May 2009. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Matthew (Jennie), Jackie (Josh) and Jamie (Sam); and a great-grandchild, Hendrix.

Survivors said her life centered on her children but that she found time to pursue her passions, making many friends, of all ages, along the way. She regularly played bridge and hosted a weekly mah jong game in her home. She played tennis into her 80s, was active in the Remsenburg Garden Club and volunteered selflessly as a trustee for the board of the Westhampton Free Library; she was instrumental in realizing the transformation of the library to its current glory. She was a voracious reader and maintained her library relationships until the end.

A funeral was held on December 28 at Beth David Cemetery, where she was laid to rest beside her husband.

Memorial donations may be made to the Westhampton Free Library, 7 Library Avenue, Westhampton, NY 11978.

The Mountain

Southampton Town officials, it must be said, are very much on point when it comes to affordable housing. It’s not just lip service: The town is doing its level best to begin to address the ongoing crisis that is making it harder for the town’s workforce to stay here, and more difficult for the town’s business community to fill positions. It became problematic a few years ago, but today it’s probably the biggest issue Town Hall faces. And it appears that all hands are on deck. The town’s voters also have done their part, approving a new Community Housing Fund ... by Editorial Board
