Bunny Adelman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 10, 2025.
Ruthellen (Bunny) Adelman, a long-time resident of Tenafly, New Jersey, passed away on Saturday, May 31st - nearly one month after her 90th birthday. She was a beloved wife of Burt Adelman, mother of Jill Glenn and Ron Adelman, and grandmother of Sophie Adelman and Christopher Glenn. Bunny received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1958. In later years she became a talented sculptor and also ran Cookworld stores for M.H. Lamston.

Bunny was an avid gardener, world traveler and bridge player; and she always appreciated a good joke. Rest in peace Mom.

Bunny was the best baker everyone loved her apple strudel and
plum torte.

I have such fond memories of sharing special time, delicious meals and big laughs with Bunny - her warmth for others, adoration of art, talent for baking and indomitable spirit always shone through. I hope you are resting easy dear Bunny, I'll always think of you when I come across Tom Lehrer, lemon curd cookies or someone in a beautiful all-blue outfit. Love, Ketaki

As a child, I remember her wedding to Burt. It was a great party. She was always a very special person in my life. In this crazy family, she was always a breath of fresh air. God be with her.

Being the proud owner of one of her remarkable statuettes, may I add a talented artist who could embody emotion and create it to share with her gifted hands. Bless you all.
