Ruth Ann (Isaacs) Eisner
EISNER: Ruth Ann (Isaacs) Eisner, age 86, died peacefully on March 2, 2017, surrounded by her loved ones. She was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, Dr. Robert Eisner, and is survived by her daughters: Marjie (Jeff) Mckee, Judy (Sandy) Kivowitz and Amy (Jim) Ireland; seven grandchildren: Lena (Garrett) Krutilla, Mollie (Brett) Wilson, Rose Marcus, Lauren and Alana Kivowitz and Asher and Ben Ireland; and two great-grandsons, Alexander Wilson and Andrew Krutilla. A Pittsburgh native and longtime Squirrel Hill resident, Ruth Ann was born in 1931, the only child of the late Dr. Asher and Flora Isaacs. After earning her degree in elementary education from the University of Pittsburgh, she became a longtime, dedicated kindergarten teacher who mentored and supported generations of new teachers and remained beloved by her former students throughout their own adult lives. Also a talented musician, Ruth Ann played cello as a lifetime member of the Pittsburgh Savoyards Orchestra, and together she and Robert created a home that was always full of music. As a Pittsburgh sports enthusiast, she waved her Terrible Towel until the very end. Her memory will be treasured by her family, and she will be remembered for her warmth, kindness and friendship by all who knew her. The family requests that any memorial contributions be made to the Hebrew Free Loan Association, the Pittsburgh Savoyards, or the charity of your choice.
