Carol L. Weintraub

SCHENECTADY – Carol L. Weintraub, 74, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 27, 2021, surrounded by her loving family.
Carol was born in Elizabeth, NJ, the daughter of the late William and Leona Jablonski Wiezbicki. She was raised and educated in Linden, NJ; graduated from Claremont Secretarial School in New York City in 1965 and attended Union College in NJ. Early in her career, Carol was employed as an executive secretary for Merck Inc., and locally for Systomation, Dr. James Nelson, the Boston Store and others. She dedicated over twenty of employment as secretary to the Executive Director at the Schenectady Municipal Housing Authority.
Carol was a woman of great integrity, dignity, and grace who treasured her family and friends. She was surrounded by an aura of warmth and beauty that made everyone who encountered her feel happy and at ease. She had a keen eye for art, decoration, and clothing—and was always the best-dressed person in the room and the one most likely to notice and compliment your new outfit. Her intelligence and curiosity sparkled. She loved reading and exchanging books with her best friend, Risé, as well as watching and discussing Netflix shows with her adored granddaughter, Natalie. Her passion for and knowledge of flowers, too, was impressive. She was the kind of person who would plant flowers in her friends’ gardens as a surprise for them to find when they returned home. Her generosity of spirit made everyone feel seen and valued.
Carol is survived by her beloved husband, Alvin Weintraub, who she married on September 6, 1969; loving daughter, Alison Weintraub Pase, and adoring granddaughter, Natalie Simpson-Pase; and many colleagues and friends, including the Glaser family, who were like a second family to Carol for over 40 years.
Relatives and friends are invited and may call at the Rossi & Ditoro Funeral Home, 501 Union Street in Schenectady on Saturday from 2 to 5 pm; they are also welcome to attend the funeral and interment, to be held on Monday, November 1, at 12:30 pm at Gerald BH Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery, Schuylerville.
