Publish in a newspaper
Kindly in lieu of flowers, the family suggests that contributions be made to Kansas City Hospice House, 12000 Wornall Rd, Kansas City, MO 64145
The family invites you to Shabbat services at The Temple, Congregation B'nai Jehudah, located at 12320 Nall Ave, Overland Park, KS 66209. Services will begin at 6:00 p.m. An Oneg Shabbat will follow in honor of Selma.
Selma was ahead of her time, leading a successful business "COATS", the first wholesale to the public in women's coats. She was an active member of The Temple, Congregation B'nai Jehudah's sisterhood, Hadassah, member of the Jewish American Congress, an avid reader, Harry Truman Democrat, one hell of a poker player and loved to talk politics. Her love for her family and friends was always her priority.
She was proceeded in death by her parents, Sol and Susan Kupperstein; her sister, Marna Bergman; Leon Litwin (husband), and son Arvin Kaufman.
She is survived by her son, Michael Kaufman and daughter-in-law, Johanna Holtzman Kaufman of New York City. As well as son, Dennis Kaufman of Kansas City, Missouri. Most longingly, her grandchildren: Joseph Kaufman and his wife Nicole Kaufman of Brooklyn, New York, her grandson, Jacob Kaufman of Kansas City, Missouri, as well as nieces Margo Sack, Julie Sokol and Ellen Bigus and her devoted dog, Benji.
