CHARLOTTE KLONOFF

Charlotte Klonoff, z”l, passed away peacefully Aug. 21, 2021, at the age of 101. She is survived by her two children, Robert Klonoff and Liz Klonoff, and their spouses, Heidi Klonoff and Kristi Alexander; and three grandchildren, Joshua Klonoff, Emily King and Olivia Fouser.

She was born Feb. 23, 1920, in Minsk, Poland, and raised in Winnipeg, Canada. She married Bernie in Portland in 1950. They shared more than 65 years together before he passed away in 2017. The two of them owned and operated the Beaumont Pharmacy in Northeast Portland. In addition, for many years she sold high fashion clothing and fine jewelry at Meier & Frank in Portland. Even at 101 she was always dressed elegantly, including jewelry and makeup. She treated everyone with dignity and respect and genuinely cared about the pain and suffering of others.

Her primary focus in life was on her family – her beloved husband, children and grandchildren. She also adored her 10 brothers and sisters and their families and always kept in close touch with them. She was the last surviving sibling.

A graveside service was held Aug. 24, 2021, at Beth Israel Cemetery, 426 SW Taylors Ferry Road in Portland.
