Adelaide Leavy later worked as Addie Passen (May 29, 1913 – March 18, 1999) was a pioneering American photojournalist and one of the few women photographers who participated in sports photography beginning in the 1940s.

[2] In 1937, Neuberger married Richard B. Leavy of Boston, who was serving in the United States Army Coast Artillery Corps.

[2][3] During World War II many of the male photographers working in the press went overseas, opening opportunities for women to enter the field.

[7] In July 1945, four months after the National Press Photographers Association was founded, Leavy joined the organization along with five other women — Margaret Hazel of The Louisville Times, Sodelvia Rihn of the Baltimore News-Post, Evelyn Straus of the New York Daily News, Lucille Tandy of The San Diego Tribune and Libby Whitman of The Canton Repository.

[6] Leavy divorced in 1946, but continued using the surname professionally until 1948, when she married William N. Passen, a public relations officer for the Hialeah Park Race Track.

[15] Around 1972, Passen married Herbert Millington, an economics professor, who lived in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
