Obituary: Carolyn Schaffer

Carolyn “Cookie” Schaffer, age 89, passed away peacefully on Aug. 1, 2026.
Born on Jan. 30, 1937, in Atlanta, Ga., Cookie was the beloved daughter of Bertha and Abe Schaffer. She graduated from Grady High School and went on to attend the University of Georgia.

Cookie found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She was a devoted fan of the Atlanta Braves and the Georgia Bulldogs, loved baking, knitting, playing Mah Jong, and attending Broadway shows. Above all else, Cookie cherished her family. Nothing brought her greater happiness than spending time with her children and grandchildren, whom she adored and loved to spoil.

Cookie is survived by her brother, Joel Schaffer; her children, Danny Blumenfeld, Vicki (Jim) Tropauer, and Michael (Nancy) Blumenfeld; and her beloved grandchildren, Alyssa Blumenfeld (Braden Hess), Lane Blumenfeld, Brett Blumenfeld, Adam Tropauer, and Brooke Tropauer.
