Miriam Tanenhaus Obituary

Miriam Tanenhaus Miriam A. Tanenhaus, 70, died 11/30/14 at Serenity House Hospice after a long battle with cancer. Ms. Tanenhaus moved from the East Coast in 1963, settling in Goleta, CA in 1966. She spent her career at Delco Electronics/General Motors working her way up from clerical positions to Computer Aided Engineering. She graduated valedictorian of her Santa Barbara CC class in 1981, and retired in 1998. Ms. Tanenhaus had an abiding love of animals, particularly birds and orangutans. In retirement, she devoted her time to family and friends, and was especially proud of reestablishing contact with distant family members. Ms. Tanenhaus is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Chandra and Lou Appell, her grandchildren Sydney and Anthony Kessler, and her brother and sister-in-law Dr. Herbert and Rebecca Tanenhaus. Services will be in Santa Barbara and in Binghamton, NY. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to the Santa Barbara Humane Society.

Late but just found this. Miriam was a good friend to Alice and myself. She left too soon. We will always miss her warm friendship.

To the loved ones of Miriam Tanenhaus,

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. A good, loving mother is a treasure far greater than gold. Mere death cannot take away the memories created over your own lifetimes, and she will continue to live through those memories.

I was acquainted with Miriam through our employment at Delco in Santa Barbara, and always found her to be a kind and thoughtful person.

She will be missed.
