Citadel Alumni Obituaries

Claire Krawcheck Nussbaum, of Charleston, died Sunday night, January 20,
2013, at her home. She was born in Charleston on January 22, 1932, the
second of four children of Esther and Jack Krawcheck. Mrs. Nussbaum
graduated from Ashley Hall School, attended the College of Charleston until
she left school to begin her 63 years of marriage to Maurice B. Nussbaum.
With two children in her first five years of marriage and two children more
than a decade later, she returned to the College of Charleston to complete
her BS in Psychology in 1975. Mrs. Nussbaum earned an M.Ed. in Marriage and
Family Therapy from The Citadel in 1978 and began a full-time career in
counseling while her two younger daughters were still at home. She served as
the Guidance and College Admissions Counselor at College Preparatory School
for three years, then as the Coordinator for Social Services at the
Charleston Jewish Federation, and completed her career in her own private
counseling practice. Mrs. Nussbaum was a dedicated and loving mother,
grandmother, and great grandmother whose style, stories, and songs served as
a parenting model for her children and grandchildren. She always was
available to her family and friends for emotional support, and her home was
the family center for holidays and celebrations of family occasions. She is
survived by her husband Maurice, son Alan I. Nussbaum (Neda), daughters Jane
N. Douglas (John), Susan N. Rieder (Jeffrey), and Amy N. Kronsberg (Edward);
grandchildren Rachel Nussbaum (Noam Pianko), Daniel Nussbaum (Allison),
