Dolores Rudow passed away peacefully on June 13, 2019. Dolores was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Harry and Minnie Kruman. She was a devoted and loving wife to Fred Rudow for 72 years; beloved mother to Gail Rudow of Burson, California, Mark Rudow (Barbara Elliott) of Santa Rosa, California; and sister to Jerome Kruman of Boyton Beach, Florida. Dolores was so delighted to watch her granddaughter Zoe Rudow of Oakland, California grow-up and become all that she is today.
She is mourned by her extended family of friends whom she played bridge with, tirelessly volunteered with and learned to knit from. She was an avid reader and had a lifelong love of participating in Jewish ritual and community events in her chosen home of San Rafael, California.
