On August 5, 2024, Estelle Ringel (Neuman), beloved wife of the late Robert, adoring mother of Stuart (Kerri) Ringel of Scottsdale, AZ and Mark (Susan) of Pepper Pike, OH. Devoted grandmother of Steven, David and Natalie Ringel, Bradley (Dr. Brittany Levy) and Richard (Amy Levey) Ringel, great grandmother of Teddy and Nate. Dear sister of the late Jules Neuman, sister-in-law of Harriet Ringel and Aunt of Lewis Ringel. Estelle was born in 1936 and raised in Brooklyn, NY. She was a lifelong fan of the Dodgers and later, the Cubs. After Estelle and Bob married, they moved to West Lafayette, IN where they raised their sons. Estelle was very involved with the Sisterhood of Temple Israel and cheered on her sons at all their sporting events (she washed a lot of athletic uniforms in her day!). Estelle was a quiet but diehard fan of the Purdue Boilermakers. She is remembered for saying, “Purdue only wins when I don’t watch…so I better not watch!” Estelle was crazy about her grandkids who enjoyed the endless supply of homemade chocolate chip cookies she baked and who were amazed how she could “talk sports like no other Grandma”. Estelle was very bright, tough to beat at Scrabble, well-read, humble, and a kind and loyal friend. Family was at the center of all she did. We will miss her greatly.

We have had the pleasure of living in your parents home on Rosebank. We feel as though we know them by the love they put in building this house and will never forget the day we dug in flower bed and found a homemade stepping stone with pretty rocks and marbles and the grandchildren’s initials. We took it to Linda C to give to her.. Blessings

Mark and Stuart and family it’s hard to put into a few words how much your mom meant to me, and obviously how much your family meant to me and all of us. There is no stronger memory I have then of our joint holiday celebrations every year. Your mom was always quick with a smile and a jab! I often took care of your family cat when your parents would travel and would have a chance to visit with your mom then - some alone time we shared that I think of fondly. I never thought we grew up without family in town because the Ringels were in town. I’ll leave you with this: in early elementary school at Cumberland I was sick and went to the nurse. My mom was out and they couldn’t reach her. So the nurse asked if I knew anyone else who could come get me. I only thought of your mom. It took a while for the nurse to figure it out, though, because I called her Mrs. Pringel. We figured it out and your mom took care of me until my mom got home. Sending my love at this difficult time and sending for Karen as well. David

We grieve the passing of dear Estelle, with gratitude for the role she and Bob played in our lives. There aren't words to communicate adequately the impact they had in shaping our family. Their memory is a blessing to us. The Moreau Family
