Ruth Simon

October 10, 1925 – January 20, 2015

Ruth Simon, 89, was born to Ralph and Jennie Kettleman and preceded in death by her husband Harry. She was the youngest of four siblings who all grew up in Seattle and attended Garfield High School.

Ruth was a Seattle native through and through: her favorite Starbucks order was a soy latte with extra, dry foam; she was an avid follower of the Seahawks, Mariners, and Sonics too; and a devoted employee of the Kline Galland Home for more than 20 years, even after she retired from Bikur Cholim synagogue.

She was a beloved sister to Sylvia Saperstein; mother to Sharon, Robyn and Steve; a grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother! Ruth will be missed by all whose lives she touched.

Funeral services were held at Bikur Cholim Cemetery on January 22. Remembrances may be made to the Caroline Kline Galland Home.
