ROSE HOLZER

HOLZER--Rose,

(nee Last)--on March 30, a still-vital and amazing 99, but sadly, just before the holiday that she loved best: Passover. Born to an Orthodox family in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on February 6, 1916, she attended the Monitor School and Eastern District High, and traveled widely with her brothers before marrying her true love, the late Charles Holzer, in 1948. As the long-reigning matriarch of several generations, she proudly instilled Jewish and family values, not to mention high standards and toughness against all odds--a lifelong caregiver who her family took pride in caring for during the golden years of her long, blessed life. Survived by devoted children Harold Holzer and his wife Edith, Deanne Holzer, and Susanne Holzer Miller; her adoring grandchildren Remy Holzer Kirsch (and her husband Adam), Meg Holzer, and Emily Miller; and her beloved greatgrandson Charles Ezra Kirsch. Funeral private.
