Ruth Perelman, half of one of Philadelphia’s principal philanthropic couples, died of pneumonia Sunday at age 90, The Philadelphia Inquirer writes.

Ms. Perelman and her husband, billionaire businessman Raymond G.

In May they donated $225-million to the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, which has been named for the couple.
