Citing sources it did not identify, the newspaper said Rutman, who lived in St. Paul, died there Tuesday. A private service was held Wednesday in Duluth. ``She was a grand old lady,'' said Noel Pearman, who lives across from Rutman's simple two-story house. He said she spent her winters in Arizona and that the neighborhood will miss the woman who, despite her son's fame and wealth, was unpretentious and friendly. ``She would pass the time of day with anybody,'' Pearman said. ``She was very gracious to the kids, and she was just an all-around very good neighbor.'' Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg of the Temple of Aaron in St. Paul, where Rutman worshipped, said she was a ``tremendously vivacious and warm woman.'' Abe and Beatrice Zimmerman lived in Duluth for 14 years before moving to Hibbing when Bob was 6. The couple also had a younger son, David, then 2. Abe Zimmerman died in 1968, and Rutman later married Joe Rutman of St. Paul. He died in 1985. In typical Minnesota fashion, Pearman said the neighbors refrained from talking about her famous son. ``Generally, we never mentioned it,'' he said. He said Dylan would occasionally visit her house. ``Of course, he was such a private person,'' Pearman said. ``He would come and go, but mostly we would hear from the kids that he had gone.'' As a boy, Dylan once wrote a a Mother's Day poem for her on a piece of notebook paper that she cherished: ``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.''
