Henrietta Barron Siegel

February 20, 1925-April 23, 2014

Our beautiful and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away Wednesday, April 23, in Seattle, Washington, at age 89. Born to Jennie and Louis Baron in Chicago, Henrietta spent her youth and early adulthood there until she moved to Los Angeles in 1967. Henrietta was a star sales person in the Fashion Square Macy's jewelry department for 30 years, befriending customers and positively influencing the lives of all who knew her. She was an avid reader and a member of a book club for 30 years; and also served on the board of Les Marraines, a fund raising organization to benefit the Blind Children's Center.

Henrietta always saw the good in others. She suffered great loss, but somehow remained warm and positive in her outlook. She imparted a love of the arts and nature to her children. She was an extraordinary woman who nurtured loyal, lifelong friendships. Henrietta was admired and loved by all. As the heart and soul of our family, she will always be cherished and remembered.

Henrietta was preceded in death by her husband, Morton Siegel (OBM); son, Steven Siegel (OBM); and daughter, Linda Siegel (OBM). She is survived by her daughter, Gayle Cloud; her son, Glenn Siegel; her grandchildren, Oren Siegel, Shoshana Russell, Jennifer Ledrick, Zoe Kissam, Skylar Siegel; and her great-grandchildren, Jaden Siegel, Anna Russell, Luke Russell, Owen Ledrick, and Cora Ledrick.
