Helen Katzman Smith Cappellani

In Memoriam

Helen Katzman Smith Cappellani

March 9, 1918 - February 20, 2009    Beginning in New York City and continuing on through her 15 years in Seattle, she made friends easily and often and brought joy and playfulness to all who knew her. She finally agreed to retirement at age 70, capping a long career in the medical field. Along her path, she nurtured husbands, siblings, nieces and nephews, daughter Judith, son in law Theo, granddaughter Alyx, her husband Michael, and great grandson Connor, and many, many treasured friends.  She had a lifelong interest in arts and culture, an enthusiastic appreciation of a good card game, a great sense of humor, and a terrific sense of style.

If friends wish to honor Helen’s life with a donation in her memory, they may be made in the name of Helen Cappellani to Jewish Family Service, 1601 16th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122 or to Intiman Theatre, 201 Mercer St., Seattle, WA 98109
