Ruth Caesar passed peacefully on June 1, 2024 at the Jewish Home Assisted Living (JHAL) in Rivervale, NJ. She was predeceased by her husband of 59 years Sidney Caesar. She was born in Brooklyn, NY on October 7, 1921 to Jacob and Celia Goldklang, and is survived by her 3 sons, Stewart (Diane), Marvin, and Lester (Lorraine); 4 grandchildren, Jesse, Emily, Rebecca and Brett and 2 great grandchidren, Shoshana and Ezra.
Ruth is described as a “force of nature” by her family and grandchildren. During the depression she worked after school at age 14 to help the family make ends meet. She continued to work during the rest of her life mostly as a bookkeeper assisting her husband who was a CPA and then for private companies. Ruth was a “cook,” an amateur interior designer and multipotentialite.
The family extends deep gratitude to the Jewish Home Assisted Living (JHAL) for the care and love they provided. Contributions in memory of Ruth should be made to Jewish Home Family Foundation, 10 Link Drive, Rockleigh, NJ, 07647.
