Ruth Abramson died peacefully at Springside Nursing and Rehabilitation in Pittsfield on Tuesday. At the age of 102 she was the oldest member of The Chatham Synagogue as well as being the mother of long-time TCS/NT members, Steve Abramson and Jody Schoenfeld. Born in Brooklyn, she lived in Riverdale, NY most of her life before moving to Columbia County to be near her children. A vibrant woman with a ready smile Ruth graced many synagogue events with her presence. She will be remembered for her friendly personality and impeccable sense of style and we will miss her warmth and graciousness. She was predeceased by her husband, Sol of 62 years in 2002 and will be lovingly remembered by her two children, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Donations may be made to The Chatham Synagogue. Condolences may be conveyed to frenchblasl.com.
