Roz was born in Kew Gardens, New York on April 30, 1947 and grew up in Lynbrook, New York. She graduated from Valley Stream South High School, class of 1965. She earned her BS in Education from the University of Hartford, class of 1970 and her Masters in Jewish Education from Hebrew College, Hartford Branch in 1988. Her love of teaching and of Judaism led her to a career of both professional and volunteer leadership positions. These included Chairwoman of Education for Beth El Temple, West Hartford; President, National Council of Jewish Women, Greater Hartford Section; President of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Hebrew Home and Hospital, West Hartford and Executive Director of The Lupus Foundation of America, Connecticut Chapter. For her lifetime of commitment and service to significant causes, and to her community, she was awarded the prestigious Hannah G. Solomon – Woman of the Year Award, National Council of Jewish Women, Greater Hartford Section in 1992. Roz’s fondest achievement was her caring concern and years of dedicated service to Loaves & Fishes Ministries, Hartford, CT, where she was a founding member and Charter Member of the Board of Directors. She took great pride in delivering Meals on Wheels for more than twenty years.

Roz is survived by her husband, Howard. Roz and Howard recently celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary.

Roz was “Nanna” to nine grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She leaves numerous cousins, nieces, nephews as well as great nieces and nephews. Roz is also fondly remembered by many friends, some of whom are from her childhood as well as those from 30 plus to 60 plus year friendships.

Howard, Mark, Rachel and Steven- we are so saddened to hear of your loss. Roz and I go back many years to our friendship beginning from our involvement in NCJW. We have very fond memories from those days as well as recent years with Book Club. She was such a good person- a leader, committed to the Jewish and general community and to the continuation of the Jewish people and its heritage. She will be sorely missed.

It is with such sadness that Bruce and I learned of Roz's passing this morning. It was my fortune to have met Roz many years ago when she moved to the West Hartford community and joined Beth El Temple.Together we celebrated the memorable occasion of our adult Bat Mitzvahs and I had the distinct honor of following in her footsteps as president of NCJW Evening Branch as well as the Auxiliary of the Hebrew Home. It was wonderful to see her so happy in her marriage to Howard. May your memories of Roz sustain you at this difficult time.

Dear Hloward:

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Roz was one of the nicest people I have known. She was always a very up person even through all her adversities. I am sorry that I cannot be in Hartford to attend the services, but will try to connect up with you later this summer.

I met Roz about 20 years ago at Beth El Temple. She immediately welcomed me and proceeded to invite me to various envents, including a Passover Seder. About 10+ years ago, I was invited to Leah and Felix Bronner's 65th wedding anniversary party at Beth El. She had recently met Howard and introduced him to me. They made a beautiful couple and have had a wonderful life together. She always smiled and made everyone around her feel good. I miss her already. Sincere condolences to Howard and her family. May she be at rest and free from pain.
