PULWER Ruth H. Pulwer, died peacefully at home on
11/16/20, following a long illness. She was
the beloved wife of the late Murray G. Pul-
wer, for 51 years. Daughter of Anna and Is-
rael Hersh. Sister of the late Bernard Hersh
(Mildred). Ruth is survived by her three chil-
dren, Ellen (known as Cookie) Brenner
(Gabe); Mitchell (Miki); and Sarah Myer
(Bainish). Ruth was the proud Mommom of
her 11 adored grandchildren, Jennifer Shute
(Gary) , Matthew Brenner(Liz), Lauren Pul-
wer (Pete), Bob Pulwer, Kess Myer (Meg),
Fraida Solomon (Yossi), Yehuda Myer
(Mimi), Chaya Snyder (Asher), Nechama Her-
sh (Isaac), Devo Krief (Meni), Kraina Myer
(fiancé Daniel). She also adored her 18
great-grandchildren: Hannah, Ethan, Jake,
Maya, Nina, Mendel, Benny, Miri, Moshe, Avi,
Mendy, Shimmy, Goldie, Bella, Jack, Esther,
Serena, and Ella. Beloved aunt to nieces and
nephews. Ruth was immensely proud of
everyone in her family, and devoted to each
of them. Nothing pleased her more than a
boisterous family gathering! Ruth graduated
from West Philadelphia High School at the
age of 16. Her childhood friends, Rae, Ruth-
ie and Gert, maintained their close friendship
for almost 90 years. She maintained many
other friendships from her youth and de-
veloped many friends in many walks of life
throughout the years. For the last 30 years of
her life, she had a passion for swim exercise
and the group of friends she formed were
very dear to her heart. In the early 1980’s,
Ruth opened her own business, Penn Valley
Travel, at a time that many were thinking
about retirement. Travel combined her love
for adventure, her passion for the beauty of
nature, and her curiosity about the world.

Being in the travel business allowed her to
see most of the world, which delighted her.

She was the oldest on her African safari,
when she was in her 80’s, and all marveled at
her strength, enthusiasm, and tenacity. She
did not miss a thing! Ruth was also active in
many organizations, such as Hadassah, Na-
tional Womens League, Sisterhoods in sever-
al synagogues, and volunteered up until one
year ago at the JCFS Food Pantry. Her calen-
dar was filled with meaningful and charitable
activities. She was an accomplished bala-
busta, superb cook, baker, seamstress—and
just about anything she set her heart to. Al-
ways an animal lover, she adopted older
needy rescue pets in her later years, shower-
ing them with love and much needed atten-
tion, as they shared their journey together.

Ruth was a devoted friend. Her warmth,
genuine caring, ability to listen, and wisdom
made her a cherished and loved friend. She
was fun and energetic and always made time
for those she loved. Ruth was an extraordin-
ary woman who wanted to make a difference
in this world, and she certainly did so. Funer-
al and shiva were private due to COVID.

ROBBINS Robert S. Robbins, Esq., passed at the age of
89 on December 10, 2020 as a result of arm
wrestling with a grizzly bear, or maybe it was
from complications of Parkinsonism. Either
way his dry sense of humor persisted to the
end. Robert was born in Philadelphia on
November 30, 1931 and raised in the Straw-
berry Mansion section of town. He attended
Central High School and Temple University
before a stint in the U.S Army stationed in
Europe. After a brief educational course in
London he returned to Temple University
earning a law degree (J.D.) Thus, he began a
half century of legal criminal practice initially
with his brother Willie and later in solo prac-
tice. His fulltime law practice was delayed by
the entrepreneurial success of a variety store,
Marketown, around 12th and Market Sts. and
then moved to 52nd and Market Sts. with his
brother Melvin. Under eminent domain
SEPTA took over the store's location which
transitioned Robby to fulltime law practice.

His athletic nature introduced him to one of
his life's passion - handball. He was found 8
days a week playing handball at the Broad-
wood later known as the Philadelphia Athlet-
ic Club. Despite his modest beginnings as the
youngest of 8 children to Russian immigrant
parents he was a self-made man. He valued
culture and intellect being an avid classical
music and opera fan as well as a daily Cross-
word puzzler. He was a man of the people
who was happiest in front of a buffet. Fortu-
nately, his athletic activities balanced his love
of food allowing him to live a long life to
share with his family and many dogs. A few
months ago, he celebrated his 58th wedding
anniversary with the love of his life Saundra
Goldstein of Jeweler's Row. He is survived by
his wife Saundra (nee Goldstein); his chil-
dren Brad (Shelley) Robbins, Marlie (Kevin
Gillen) Robbins and Shira (Peter Durdaller)
Robbins; his loving grandchildren Johana,
Lily and Arielle; and grand dogs Finch, Otis,
Izzy, Bean and Lailah. He was preceded by
parents Rubin and Esther Rabinowitz; sib-
lings Sarah, Sam, Willie, Label, Herman,
Sylvia, Melvin and grand dogs Spike, Purl,
Boomer, Brittany, Jessie, Tova, Mazel,
Chelsea, Tucker, Paco, Max, Schmendrick,
Dobby and Rocki. Contributions in his
memory may be made to: SPCA, www.mont-
