Obituary
Ruth "Ruthie" Yosowitz 81, passed away peacefully on March 28, 2023, surrounded by family. She had a smile that could light up a room and overflowed with love for her family and friends.
She was born in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Charles and Beatrice Goodman and graduated from Shaker Heights High School's class of 1959. She attended The Ohio State University for two years and then earned a teaching degree from Kent State University.
Ruthie and her late husband of 57 years, Sanford "Sandy" Yosowitz raised their three children in Beachwood, Ohio where they were active members of Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple. She held several teaching positions throughout the years including 2nd grade at John Dewey Elementary School in Warrensville Heights, elementary levels (as well as Librarian) at Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple and Pre-K at the former Agnon School where many of her former students remembered her as "one of the most fun and caring teachers" they ever had. She and Sandy retired to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida in 2006.
