Peacefully in her sleep, on October 3, 2025, after 93 truly glorious years, Ruth Angell Bass (nee Coodin), much loved wife of the late Joseph Richard Bass(Joey); mother of Debby and Peter, Brad and Chris, Alan and Randi and Neil and Rebecca; proud grandmother of Jeremy and Caitlin, Melanie and Matt, Stefan, Michael and Odelia, Natan, Dylan and Margaux, Spencer and Maggie, Marlon and Stephanie, Corey and Madeline, Alexis and Josh, Macy; bonus grandmother of Rowan and Holt. Great grandmother (known as Gigi) of Jack, Maya, Rebecca, Freya, Joey, Leah, Arthur, Wilfred and Sadie.  Dear sister and sister-in-law to the late Norman and Rhoda Coodin and Evelyn and Lloyd Rabkin.

She lived life to the fullest and spread her spirited energy, love, beautiful smile, and iconic fashion sense wherever she went. Her many friends were for life, and she was an inspiration to so many. A trailblazer for women within the Jewish community, she literally and figuratively wore many hats. Known for her passion for the arts, cooking and baking, her greatest passion and the legacy she leaves, is that of her 8 children, 21 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, who she proudly boasted about to every single person she met.
