Arnold Lowell Case

Dr. Arnold Case died on Tuesday, November 1 surrounded by his family after a long illness. He was born on February 22, 1934 to the late Ruth (Rosen) and Isadore Case in Hartford, CT. He was educated at the Loomis School, Yale University, and the George Washington University School of Medicine. He was a Captain in the US Army Medical Corp, and was a highly regarded, progressive obstetrician gynecologist who trained many physicians at Hartford Hospital in laparoscopic surgery and community based care for women. He also trained nurse practitioners in gynecology and was instrumental in helping them obtain autonomy as medical providers. Multiple sclerosis may have robbed him of his physical strength and intellect, but he never lost his sense of humor, his ability to sing, or his charm. He was a person who was gentle and knew how to listen, and he genuinely cared for the wellbeing of others. He was blessed to have extraordinary caregivers and our family is deeply grateful to the many people on staff at the Hebrew Home for their compassion and care over the years. He leaves his wife Ann (Magnuson), three daughters and a son: Elizabeth and husband Steven Dolmanisth, Amy and husband Michael Rosenfield, Sarah Case, and Daniel and wife Patti (Winchell). He also leaves his brother Richard and wife Harriet, his cousin Ronald Sharp and wife Susan, and ten grandchildren: Alexandra, Sophia, and Lucy Dolmanisth; Joshua, Hanna, Rachel and Eliana Rosenfield; Carlin and Jack Gilbert, and Noel Case. There will be a service at Congregation Beth Israel in West Hartford on Friday, November 4 at 1:00 pm, followed by burial in Beth Israel Cemetery in Avon. Calling hours will be at the home of Amy and Michael Rosenfield on Friday, and Shiva at Hebrew Healthcare on Sunday at 3pm. Info: www.weinsteinmortuary.com/funerals.cfm.
