Family and friends will say their final farewell Saturday to Barbara Gustern, the beloved singing coach who was shoved from behind on a Manhattan sidewalk on March 10.
Gustern suffered traumatic brain damage from which she would not recover even if she survived, authorities and the woman's grandson, AJ Gustern, said.
The woman accused of shoving a beloved Broadway voice coach who later died will soon be out of jail. NBC New York's Myles Miller reports. Cousins of Gustern's who came in for her funeral called her"the glue of the family, she was our queen." They said that her infectious personality is still bringing people together.
Stephen Shanaghan, who owns Manhattan restaurant and theater Pangea, called Gustern a"sharp, clever seasoned New York person." Shanaghan said that Gustern had recently performed there, and that she had hoped to premiere a new cabaret show there.
