Clemence Zimmerman Obituary

Clemence ZIMMERMAN Clemence Zimmerman was born on September 20, 1922 in Seattle, Washington. She was the fifth out of eight children, and her mother and father Leonard Rose and Dorah Baron were from Istanbul, Turkey. She loved her family and spoke of them fondly, especially in her later years. She was the last remaining relative in her family out of her brothers and sister who were Ezra, Jean, Bernice, Louie, Sam, Mark, and Solomon who died one day after his birth. After graduating from Garfield High School she soon started working for Boeing. During her time with the company, she won an award for being so skilled in her position. And after being with them for ten years, she left to join her sister in San Francisco to help raise her nephew Paul Frank. She married Stanley Zimmerman on June 20th, 1957 and they had an exceptional marriage. Her life revolved around her husband and her family. Nine years ago she returned to Seattle to be with her family after her husband and sister passed away. "Smarter than her stock broker," the acclaimed fashion savvy busi nesswoman was always in a beau tiful suit with a special touch of a pin or a brooch. Her old fashion radio was always on listening to various financial advisors. Over the past nine years she has been on the phone daily and at many different gatherings which she always brought a certain fire of personality to. She died peace fully June 29, 2011 at Swedish Hospital. She is survived by her nephews and nieces, Paul Frank, Jack Menashe, Leonard and Debbie Rose, Debbie, Cindy and Mark Rose and Michelle and Susan Rose. Her niece Kathy Menashe - Arne preceded her in death 3 years ago. The funeral will be held Friday July 1, 2011 at one o'clock p.m. at the Sephardic Brotherhood Cemetery. 1230 North 167th Street Shoreline, WA 98133.

"Clem" and I have been friends since 1988 when I moved into the apartment next-door to hers in California. I became life-long friends with her and her husband, Stan. Clem and I did everything together, and EVERYONE thought I was her daughter, no matter where we went. We got into many "escapades" together, and were sometimes dubbed as "Lucy and Ethel" (from the I LOVE LUCY T.V Series). When I was ill, Clem cooked for me and made sure that I ate it! She had a fabulous sense of humour and a flair for fashion. She was also a savvy investor. When Clem moved to Seattle about eight years ago, we had a good-by lunch overlooking the Bay. We have kept in touch by phone, and had many one to two hour phone conversations. About three weeks ago we spoke on the phone for over an hour. I am very sad to hear that she has passed....I cannot pick up the phone to call her anymore.....I thank Clem for all she has done for me and for other people throughout her long, fulfilling life...I am very sad to not be able to talk to her anymore.....
