Dorothy Joan Rosenbloom

mother of Carol (late Kevin) Ross and the late Stephen

Rosenbloom; loving grandmother of Emily (Adrian) Ross;

dearest daughter of the late Isadore and Sarah Rippa; dear sister

of the late Robert (late Arline) Rippa; and loving aunt, cousin

and friend to many.

Dorothy was a determined problem-solver and she approached

every obstacle with amazing resilience, strength and grace. She

loved to garden and to travel; she was an enthusiastic reader and

loved word puzzles and games. She played weekly card games

with her some of her closest friends, and in later years she was

devoted to Duplicate Bridge.

Dorothy also gave generously of herself and her time. Among

her projects, she was a creative Brownie and Scout Leader; she

volunteered for CARIH (Children’s Asthma Research Institute

and Hospital), St. Louis Jewish Hospital and the Children’s

Orphanage that is now Every Childs Hope. May her memory be

a blessing.

Private services were held. Memorial contributions preferred to

the Brain Injury Association of Missouri, 2265 Schuetz Rd.
