Rosalyne (Rose Lynn) Wolkoff Weiner
WEINER, of Sarasota, Fl, died peacefully after a long illness on Wednesday, November 14, 2012, Rosalyne (Rose Lynn) Wolkoff Weiner. She was born in Masontown, PA on May 22, 1927. She was the daughter of the late Samee and Ben Wolkoff. She lived not only in Masontown but also Uniontown and for many years in Pittsburgh. After marrying the love of her life, Jay Weiner, they eventually moved to New Castle, PA and raised their three children, Joanne (Margarita Acosta) Weiner, Bruce (Susan) Weiner and Kathy (Sam) DiBiase. Her grandchildren were the other great love of her life, Josh (Caroline) Weiner, Evan (Ellen) DiBiase, Neil DiBiase, Kara DiBiase and James Weiner, all will carry her love with them for the rest of their lives. Her friend Ed Cohen of Sarasota has been a wonderful companion and jokester for the past several years and he and Roz developed a warm and caring relationship. In New Castle, Roz was one of the founding members of the Crisis Shelter of Lawrence County. She was a member of Temple Israel and was active in Hadassah and the Temple Sisterhood where she served as President. Roz closely followed politics and was a member of the New Castle League of Women Voters. She was thrilled to live to see Barack Obama elected to a second term as President of the United States! Roz traveled all over the world with Jay and loved every minute of not only her travels, but her time with the man she met when she was just 16 years old and married two years later. They were married for 61 years and Jay preceded her in death in 2006. Her sister Shirley, and her brothers Milton, Billy and Julian also preceded her in death. Roz was cared for in the last months of her life by a loving group of women who will never be forgotten. The family sends their gratitude to Adina, Ruth Ann, Paula and Christie as well as her caregivers from Comfort Keepers. Everyone who knew “Roz” commented on her positive outlook on life and the way she could bounce back from the complications of her illness in the last few years, all the while looking beautiful! She will always be remembered for her love of beauty and for the beauty of her love. Graveside Services and Interment were held at Anshe Labovitz Cemetery. A Memorial/Celebration of Life service will be held on Friday, November 23, 2012 at 11 AM at Temple Ohav Shalom, 8400 Thompson Run Road, Alllison Park for all family and friends to attend. The family requests that anyone wishing to make a contribution in Roz’s memory select a charity of their choice. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc. www.schugar.com
