Hi Art, Just finished reading your book
- enjoyed it very much. There are so many names that are familiar. You
mentioned Joseph Spector and I am pretty sure that was my Dad's uncle. I did
not know about the theater. I did know of a cousin by the name of Little Joe
Spector an entertainer around the 30's. I have started a family tree on Geni.
Give my regards to Linda. Rescha

Elinor Rosenthal "Ellie" Kraut
Elinor Rosenthal "Ellie" Kraut
Obituary
Elinor 'Ellie' Rosenthal Kraut AVENTURA, FL
Elinor "Ellie" Rosenthal Kraut, 91, died Sunday at her home in
Aventura, FL. Born in Princeton, NJ, she grew up in Princeton and lived in the
Trenton area for most of her adult life. Elinor graduated from Princeton High
School in 1946, where she captained the basketball and baseball teams. She
graduated with a degree in psychology from Smith College in 1950, where she was
captain of the baseball team and president of its Hillel Chapter. After graduation
she worked as a social worker for the State of New Jersey. In 1954 she married
Dr. Irving Kraut, a successful orthodontist in Trenton. The couple lived above
his office on West State Street for several years, then moved to Lawrence in
1957 shortly before the birth of their third child. There, the family grew to
eight children, and in 1969 they moved to Ewing, where the family was completed
with the birth of a ninth child. The family were members of Adath Israel
Congregation. She learned tennis from her father, the late Samuel Rosenthal,
while in her teens and the sport would become a lifelong passion. She played
and coached tennis until the age of 90. She won numerous tournaments in
Trenton, Princeton, and throughout Mercer County in the 1950s and 1960s in both
singles and doubles, including in partnership with her sister, Marilyn
Rosenthal. In 1962 she began teaching tennis at the Trenton YWCA and also
taught at the Ewing Adult School and on her own court in Ewing. She instilled a
love for the game in all of her children and in the hundreds of players she
coached through the years. In 1968 the family was featured in World Tennis
Magazine. In 2016 the National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) of Trenton
honored her at their annual gala as one of a group of "Women Who
Rock." In 2018 her children and tennis friends presented her with an award
commemorating 56 years of coaching tennis. After the death of her husband in
2001 she increasingly spent time in her winter home in Aventura, FL, eventually
making it her permanent residence while returning to Ewing each summer.
Daughter of the late Samuel and Ida Rosenthal, she was predeceased by her
husband, Dr. Irving Kraut, her eldest son, Dr. Jon Kraut and by her brother,
Donald Rosenthal. She is survived by four daughters, Robin Kraut Zell of Tekoa,
Israel, Carin Kraut Cohen of Vorhees, NJ, Lesley Kraut Schwarzman of Princeton,
NJ, Wendy Kraut of Aventura, FL; four sons, Dr. Bruce Kraut of Lawrenceville,
NJ, Gary Kraut of Paris, France, Dr. Eric Kraut of Pikesville, MD, Dr. Robert
Kraut of Orlando, FL; 25 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren and counting,
and a sister, Marilyn Rosenthal. Funeral services are Wednesday, July 3 at
12:30 p.m. at Orland's Ewing Memorial Chapel, 1534 Pennington Road, Ewing
Township. Burial to follow at Fountain Lawn Memorial Park. Memorial
contributions may be made in her name to National Junior Tennis and Learning of
Trenton, (njtloftrenton.org), and to Greenwood House, (greenwoodhouse.org) a
network of senior living, care and service based in Ewing. Orland's Ewing
Memorial Chapel 1534 Pennington Road Ewing, NJ 08618 (609) 883-1400
