Harriet S. Kaplan Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Harriet S. Kaplan (Los Angeles, California), whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on January 3, 2026. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Esther Smith and Manuel Smith; her sons, Robert Kaplan (Susan Kaplan), Martin Kaplan (late Robert Duffy) and Roger Kaplan (Joyce Kaplan); and her grandchildren, Robert, Isaac Kaplan (Rebecca Hattery-Kahn), Tessa Kaplan, Roger, Samara Kaplan and Adam Kaplan.
She remained engaged in teaching and medical professional programs until around 2020, when the pandemic and her own health challenges made such continuing involvement too difficult.
Her life was guided by the imperative of tikkun olam – "healing the world."In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Harriet's memory to one of the following organizations: NAMI -- National Alliance on Mental Illness. https://donate.nami.org.
