Bob Dylan’s mother Beatrice “Beatty” Rutman (b. June 13, 1915) died at her home in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota at the age of 84. A private Jewish service was held in Duluth, and she was interred in the Tifereth Israel Cemetery. In addition to her sons, survivors included a sister, a brother, several grandchildren, including Wallflowers lead singer Jakob Dylan of Los Angeles and Tangletown singer Seth Zimmerman of Minneapolis, and several great-grandchildren. Her family released one of the poems Bob wrote for her as a young boy.
It read:“My dear mother, I hope that you Will never grow old and gray,So that all the people in the world will say:’Hello, young lady, Happy Mother’s Day.'”
