Ruth Berelson, born on September 7, 1924, passed away in her Irvington, NY, home, June 14, 2023. She spent her childhood in Hollis, Queens, graduated from Queens College, then attended the University of Chicago. Art and ceramic sculpting became the focal points of her talent and energy. She loved sharing her aesthetic advice; yet appreciated the imperfections in life and embraced this wabi-sabi thesis in her clay-work. Ruth was an ardent believer in the public library system and worked diligently to acquire funding to support the Irvington Public Library. She will be sorely missed by family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and her multitude of students and mentees. A service at the Irvington Presbyterian Church is scheduled for July 17, 2023, at 1pm.
