Natalie Caplin
(née Van Gelder)
We are saddened to announce the peaceful passing of Natalie Caplin in Chicago, on Monday morning June 1, 2020, at the age of ninety-eight, due to complications from the COVID-19 virus. Cherished wife of the late Arthur Caplin, Natalie will be deeply missed by her children, William Caplin (Marsha Heyman) and Wendy Caplin (Denise Kulp); her grandchildren, Adam Caplin, Rebecca Caplin, and Mateo Caplin, as well as by her many nieces and nephews. She will be remembered for her capacity to form deep, long-lasting friendships, her artistic accomplishments as an amateur potter, and her devotion to progressive political action. Natalie was an active member of Solel synagogue (Highland Park, IL) and spent many years as a volunteer in community organizations. She aged with grace and a fighting spirit. In her final days, Natalie’s family is enormously grateful for the compassionate and outstanding care she received from the nursing staff at the Vi at the Glen (Glenview, IL). Donations in Natalie’s memory may be made to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (1 E. Wacker Dr., Chicago IL 60601) or the Bright Futures Foundation (PO Box 2600, 2500 Indigo Ln., Glenview IL 60026). A graveside funeral will be live-streamed on Thursday, June 4, 2020 at 3:00 PM EDT.
