worked there for more than 50 years,
much of that time as the leading sales-
woman in the couture department.
She was also highly respected at Saks
for being a caring mentor for younger
staff. Mrs. Budman was a kind, gen-
erous person, who always had great
compassion and concern for other
people. She had a big heart and was a
devoted friend. Incredibly modest, she
lived according to one of her favorite
expressions: "Less is best:' She will be
dearly missed by many.
Until her final days, she remained an
extremely devoted, loving mother to her
sons, Jim of Los Angeles and Michael
of Toronto; an incredible mother-in-law
to Diane and was equally dedicated to
her two grandchildren, Matthew and
Alex Anne; and the Winkelmans, Justin,
Grant and Amy and Erin. She had just
become a great-grandmother to Taylor

given to her caregivers, Nancy, Luisa,
