Barbara “Sue” Konefsky
With the heaviest of hearts, we share the passing of Barbara “Sue” Konefsky, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. Sue passed away peacefully on Friday, November 6, 2026, at her home in Hollywood, Florida, surrounded by her family and the immeasurable love that she so generously gave throughout her life.
Born on August 29, 1951, in New Rochelle, New York, to Annette and Louis Wallach, Sue grew up alongside her sister, Alyce, with a love for music, dancing, and baking. After moving to Miami Beach as a teenager, she met Howard, the love of her life and her husband of 55 years. Together, they built a family rooted in kindness, love, and unwavering loyalty—values that Sue embodied every day.
Sue had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel welcome, accepted, and loved. Whether caring for her own daughters and their friends or the thousands of children whose lives she touched during her years working in the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system, she was always there with a warm smile, open arms, and a heart that never seemed to run out of room for one more person. Her home, her heart, and her life were always open to anyone who needed a little extra love.
Sue’s greatest legacy is the love she gave and the countless lives she touched. She will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, loyalty, and the special way she made everyone feel like family.
Sue is survived by her beloved husband of 55 years, Howard; her daughters, Lauren and Nikki; her sons-in-law, Marc and Mario; her cherished grandchildren, Matthew, Dylan, Skylar, Max, Zoey, and Ella; her dear sister Alyce Munroe. She also leaves behind the memory of her two beloved fur babies, Bella and Chaddy, who brought her so much joy.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Levitt-Weinstein Beth David Memorial Chapel, 3201 N. 72nd Avenue, Hollywood, FL 33024. (954) 963-2400
Though she will be missed beyond words, the love Sue shared will live on in the family she built, the children she nurtured, and everyone fortunate enough to have known her.
