Rose Levine, 104

Rose R. Levine passed away on Oct. 20 after a three-day illness. She was the daughter of the late Jennie (Salk) and Samuel Altman. Rose was predeceased by her husband, Samuel, to whom she was married for 65 years. She was also predeceased by her son, Kenneth, and her brothers Morris, Leonard and Nathan.

Rose’s life was enriched by her loving family, her daughter Judy and son-in-law, Geoffrey, her adored grandchildren, Melissa, Tony and Darcy. She was blessed with two amazing great-grandchildren, Peter and Samantha.

Rose spent many years employed by James Kaplan Jewelers. She enjoyed every phase of her job. Spending time cooking and baking was a daily enjoyment. Always delicious. Always creative.

Rose taught many wise lessons. She always said, “Don’t worry – It won’t do you any good. You can’t change what happened yesterday. You must live for today, and you don’t know what tomorrow will bring, so don’t worry.”

Rose was a determined woman. The word “can’t” wasn’t in her vocabulary. She would accomplish whatever she set out to do, no matter what.

She lived a full life until 104 years, 2 months and 2 days. What a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother – someone to admire.
