I just received news that Dottie Kaplan has died peacefully at the age of 89. She had asked that her fellow origamists be told of her passing. She spent her last days surrounded by her family. Those who know her know how much she loved origami and how much she did to spread this love to others.
Her daughter sent the following information on arrangements: "As the Jewish faith dictates, we waste no time having the funeral and since we're up against our Sabbath, she will have a service tomorrow at 2pm at the Freehold Jewish Cemetery on route 33 next to a side entrance to the Freehold Mall. (Google Map Hebrew Benefit Society, Route 33, Freehold, NJ) If anyone wants further directions please have them contact me [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>]. Also, we will go from there to a local restaurant afterwards to celebrate her and would invite all to join us (tho we'd love to let the restaurant know how many people will be coming.) Thank you so much, Fran Francine Kaplan
