Obituaries

I am so sad. Learned of your passing from a coworker yesterday. I was talking about you and he said "You know that she passed away right?". I did not of course. I had just sent you a new Year message as I always sent you email notes on Jewish holidays as I thought of you on those occasions. I had not received a response in a long time and thought you were probably busy on one of your exciting adventures. We met when Al and I transferred to LA from NC. Al dragged me with him and we were the happy core of our companies foray into the west coast. We found you and Al fell in love. You were smarter than all of us put together! I dragged Ed with me as we were in the army together and I knew he was smarter than I was. I remember sitting in the hospital together when Al had his heart attack. I transferred to MS and then transferred back to AZ and there you were our VP! You asked a favor and promised if I saved an account I could go where I wanted and of course you kept the promise. it was always great to see you come visit from LA. I remember you and the AL with Jay all dressed up doing the YMCA skit at our meeting in Monetery and the awesome Christmas party we had in LA at Universal studins. On the last day Maddy and I were worse for wear and Bryan told us to stay another day before going back to Phoenix. I remember your impish smile I can't elieve our loss. I'm so stupid I should have know all those years when you didn't thank me for my holiday thoughts. Bryan asked who I kept in touch with from the old gane and I mentioned you and then he said "You know don't you"! I can't believe it never crossed my mind. I know you're taking long walks with Duke now. You are so respected and so loved. When I sent my yearly new year note I always updated the Jewish new year. Had to look it up as I never trusted my math. HA Love You Mac

I just hear of your passing. Rosine, we did not see you very much but you were an important part of our lives. So glad that Steve and I were able to visit you and Al a few years ago. May God Bless you and we will remember you.

Rosine was a light and a joy in our hiking group. Her smart brand of humor and her fascinating stories of all her wonderful travels made the miles seem to fly by. I am in awe of the way she lived her life, and the dignity, humor and grit she displayed in illness. She will be truly missed, but never ever forgotten.

Those of us in the walking group will think of Rosine whenever we hike in her favorite canyon. Rosine's positive energy and her appreciation of nature will continue to inspire us.

I'd get together with Rosine as often as possible, primarily thru a local hiking group. Ro had an endearing humor, vulnerability, expressiveness and strength. Of course, her travel & adventure stories and philosophies of life always had me hanging on. She was so smart and knew how things go, and she generously shared clever insights and life hacks. I feel fortunate to have become friends with the inspiring, adorable Rosine. We, her closest hiking pals, knew that she was fighting for health; we took care to be gentle with her yet deliver interesting hikes and stimulating conversation. She is greatly missed, and the memories are cherished. <3

My best friend, always looked out for me, introduced me to my wife. Accepted you as you were, no criticisms. Always up for a road trip, go as fast as you can. The most adventuresome spirit.
