Ruth Blumenfeld

Ruth Blumenfeld (100) died peacefully in her home on Randall Road in Princeton on August 18, 2015. She was born on January 15, 1915 in New York City. In 1938 she married Max David Blumenfeld (1911–1994), and in 1957 they moved to Princeton.

She was a wonderful, deeply loved and loving wife, mother, and homemaker, and a superb cook and pastry chef. In her youth, she was actively involved in progressive politics, an interest she maintained all her life.

Endowed with a remarkable memory, Mrs. Blumenfeld was an expert on old-time Hollywood films, and she knew everything about the movie stars who appeared in them. She was surrounded by her family when she died, and she will be sorely missed.

She is survived by her three sons, Robert Blumenfeld; Richard H. Blumenfeld and his wife Ming; Donald S. Blumenfeld-Jones and his wife Kathryn, and their children Benjamin and Rebecca.
