Rose Shapiro Levine

Rose was one of my dearest friends. I visited her often in the 1960s when I lived in Kansas City, and spent many hours chatting with her in her home. Sending love her way.

Rose was a beautiful person, teacher, and friend. As a child, I was more fortunate than I will ever fully realize to have her for a piano teacher. She taught lessons in patience, success, and passion that applied far beyond the ivory keys. Rose' spirit will be sorely missed on Earth and a great addition as a shining star in heaven.

Rose was one of the first "big-wigs" I ever met during my years working for the UMKC Conservatory of Music -- and she quickly captured my heart as the "matriarch of music patrons."

I always enjoyed talking with her about events past and present, and like a good Jewish mother always made me feel loved and appreciated.

I will miss Rose very much, and wish her family comfort during these difficult times.

We were saddened to hear of Rose's passing on. She gave so much of herself and was a very dear friend of our Mom/Bubbe(Leona Molotsky). What an honor and a privilege it was to be able to meet her and hear updates through information from Mom. She will live on through the hearts of all of the many, many many people who's lives she has touched and made a difference in.

Dear Carla (and family)

I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Though my own memories of her are based on stories from my parents, I can see by her tribute (from the paper) that she wasn't one to let life pass her by. I marvel at her energy and selflessness in giving so much to her community and family. It meant so much to me that you came to see my own family when my father was "nifter". May you find comfort during this time of grief. "Ha-makom yenachem etchem...

I think Rose was a very nice person for the small times that I interact with her. My prayers go out to the family. Debra Fuller Receptionist/Beth Shalom

We will all miss Rose. She is a legend in Kansas City and elsewhere. She influenced so many people and inspired them to achieve and to enjoy themselves in the process. May you be comforted to remember how active and involved with life whe was for so many years. G-d Bless her!

WHAT A REMARKABLE LADY YOU WERE MRS. LEVINE.
I REMEMBER YOU THROUGH MY GRANDPARENTS THOMAS AND LILLIAN KAHN.
