Ruth Anopolsky Kalokow Silberman

July 20th, 1919 - December 5th, 2025. 106 years young.

Ruth Silberman was the devoted daughter of Esther and Saul, beloved sister of Daryl Weiner, most cherished mother of Sandra (William) Walley, doting grandmother of Amanda (David) Serafini and Matthew (Kristin) Walley, and great grandmother of Jack Serafini, Margaux and Marin Walley.

Her years in Florida were some of her most cherished memories. Ruth was a world traveler, loved learning and meeting new people, was the canasta queen supreme, and loved life.

Reading and writing poetry was a favorite pastime of Ruth’s. She wrote poetry for every occasion, as well as a children’s poetry book for her grandchildren. Ruth also had a life long devotion to nutrition and wrote a book called, The Power of Nutrition.

She was always ahead of the times with her thinking; a true lover of life. Ruth was definitely one of a kind.
