Nancy S Kohlberg

Jerome Kohlberg, a titan of the leveraged buyout, died at 90 in 2015. His wife, Nancy, died at 92 August 25 2022. Their farm in Westchester County was Nancy’s passion project, inspired by her upbringing in a farming family in upstate New York. She became a leading figure of the farm-to-table movement, even operating a restaurant that featured produce from Cabbage Hill. The Kohlnbergs’ estate place the farm on sale in 2023. Nancy Seiffer was born on August 12, 1930, in New York city, the daughter of Albert and Ethel Okin Seiffer. She was educated in the Scarsdale public schools and in summers attended Camp Vega on Echo Lake in Fayette, Me., where she became a Junior Maine Guide. Her father had a farm in Phoenicia N.Y., which spurred a lifelong dream to own a farm. After high school she attended Mt. Holyoke College for a year and a half, and then transferred to Mills Teachers College (now part of the New School in New York), where she graduated with a degree in primary education. She is survived by her four children: Karen Kohlberg Davis of Petersham, Pamela Kohlberg of Newton, James A. Kohlberg of Santa Monica Calif., and Andrew S. Kohlberg of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.; 12 grandchildren: Jake Davis, Becky Aures, Hannah Johnson, Nate Davis, Samuel Vinal, Jonathan Vinal, Nancy Vinal Rocha, Casey Kohlberg, Maddy Kohlberg, Charlotte Kohlberg, Justin Kohlberg, Michael Kohlberg; and seven great-grandchildren: Cian Davis, Mira Davis, Emelia Aures, Liam Aures, Carter Johnson, Tanner Johnson and Emory Davis.
