Charlotte Levy

Charlotte Levy, 76, of Kingston passed away Thursday morning in Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre of complications from an accident.

Born in Malden, Mass., she was the daughter of the late Dr. Samuel A. and Lillian Feinberg Rosenberg. She was a graduate of Northfield School for Girls, received her bachelor's degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and her master's degree from Wilkes University.

Mrs. Levy was a vibrant and beloved teacher at Wyoming Seminary. She was a member of Temple B'Nai B'Rith, Kingston, and other religious and civic organizations.

For over 30 years, her government, economics, U.S. history and ESL students at Wyoming Seminary have benefited from her friendship and guidance.

One of her students recently wrote:

"I will never forget you, and not only because you are the first teacher to give me a D on a midterm. I think I speak for a majority, if not all, of your students in saying that our lives are forever changed for the better after having met you. Twenty years from now, I will probably remember little about government you taught, but I will remember very clearly the lessons you taught me about life. I only hope that some day I will be as strong, educated, funny and respected a woman as you."

Charlotte loved her students, loved her family and lived life with panache and intent. She will be missed.

Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents; sons, Adam and Henry; granddaughter, Sarah Krause.

Charlotte is survived by her beloved husband, Herbert, Kingston; daughter, Betsey and her husband, John Krause; Westerville, Ohio; son, Robert, Clarion; two grandchildren, Anna Krause and Samuel Levy; brother, Alan Rosenberg, Wheeling, W.Va.; several and nieces and nephews.

The funeral will be held Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Buckingham Performing Arts Center, Wyoming Seminary Upper School Campus, Kingston. Interment will be in Temple Israel Cemetery, Swoyersville.

Shiva will be observed Monday and Tuesday, 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m., at Charlotte's home, 281 N. Sprague Ave., Kingston.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Wyoming Seminary Charlotte Levy Memorial Fund or Temple B'nai B'rith.

Arrangements are by Rosenberg Funeral Chapel, 348 S. River St., Wilkes-Barre.
