Sally Greenblatt

October 16, 1911 - February 13, 2010

Sally Greenblatt, 98, of Kansas City, MO, died at her home in Grand Court in Missouri on February 13, 2010. Funeral services will be held at 10:30am Tuesday, February 16 at The Louis Memorial Chapel, 6830 Troost Avenue with internment at Mt. Carmel Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center or the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Sally was born in Boston and always regarded herself as a Bostonian. Even though she lived in Kansas City more than 30 years, she told people she just arrived here and in comparison to Boston, Kansas City winters are not cold and she did not have an accent. Even at 98, she was an avid reader and took great pleasure in her book club friends who welcomed her in their midst and appreciated her insight and wit. She was a member of Beth Shalom, the Jewish Community Center, Hadassah and many other wellknown Jewish organizations. She prided herself on being an Orthodox Jew and a strong advocate of the State of Israel. Sally took pride in being independent and was able to take care of herself and manage her life to the very moment of her passing. She was devoted to her family and took great pride in their accomplishments. She is survived by her daughter Brenda and son-in-law Joel Pelofsky of Kansas City and her son Stan and his wife Jacqueline Greenblatt of San Francisco. She particularly enjoyed her grandchildren: Mark Pelofsky and wife Kari Tannenbaum; Carl Pelofsky and wife Kyla Hartong; Lisa Pelofsky and partner Bronwyn Werner; Rachel Greenblatt; Brian Greenblatt and wife Lucia Greenblatt; Daniel Greenblatt and Michael Greenblatt and her six great-grandchildren who fondly called her Grandma Sally. She was preceded in death by her husband J. Harry Greenblatt, her brother Morris Weinstein and sisters Rebecca Schecter and Ann Leavitt.
