Shirley Rosen Obituary
CAYUGA HEIGHTS, NY - Shirley Rosen, 84, of Cayuga Heights, NY, passed away on Thursday, November 22, 2007, at her home. She leaves behind her husband of 57 years, Bernard Rosen. She was predeceased by her daughter, Michele Rosen. Shirley was born in Scranton, PA, on September 7, 1923. A graduate of Syracuse University with a B.A. Degree in English Literature, she worked as a buyer for a large department store in New Jersey, and later operated her own tax preparation business. Shirley was skilled in organizing work, one of her greatest achievements to have designed and contracted her own home built. Throughout the years, she enjoyed travel abroad with her husband and learning different countries' culinary arts. For this, she became an excellent cook. Shirley was a vibrant woman who had a passion for reading, and will especially be remembered for her courage and perseverance in life.
In keeping with her request, there will be no formal services. Lansing Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

Bernard,
I was sad to read of Shirley's passing. In the short time I cared for her I learned so much. What an amazing woman. She will be missed by all.

This is a very nice, and accurate, obituary. Though I've known Shirley through the years of her final illness, my memories are from a much more vibrant time. She was indeed a woman with opinions on, as I recall, any topic under discussion. But I also remember her devotion to her husband Bernie.
