Caryn Coff Obituary
Age 62, died after a three year battle with Bile Duct Cancer on February 13th, 2023. She was the loving wife of Howard for 34 years, proud mother of Allyson (Gregor Hoffman) and Sarah (Michael Matza), daughter of Pat Rosenthal and the late Dr. Ronald Rosenthal, sister of Judy Wetzler (Merrick), and Dr. Marc Rosenthal (Paula Cupertino), sister in law of Marcy Schulman (Richy). She was adored by her nieces and nephews and a treasured friend to many. Caryn loved spending time with her family, going on walks in nature, being down the shore, riding her bike and traveling. She founded and led a successful home care agency for 15 years.
Caryn had a heart of gold and was known for being extremely compassionate, genuinely caring, having a positive attitude and being a fighter. She defied odds since her diagnosis and was able to walk both of her daughters down the aisle at their recent weddings. Nothing made her happier than being with her family and she will live on in their hearts forever.
A funeral service will be held on February 15th, at 11:30 am at Goldsteins' Rosenberg's Raphael Sacks, Suburban North, 310 2nd Street Pike, Southampton, PA 18966. Interment at Roosevelt Memorial Park, Trevose, PA. Shiva will be observed at the Coff residence on Wednesday and Thursday.

Howard and family,
So sorry for your loss. Caryn was always so kind, and helpful. We met 15 years ago at a conference. She was always there to take a call from a newbie and provide support. Grief is a testament to our love of the person we lost. God Bless.

How about elementary school? I have known Caryn for most of our respective 62 years. She was genuine from the moment I met her and our parents´ families were close. My deepest sympathies to her husband and children. She was a great person and will be missed.

I am heartbroken. Caryn and I were best friends in elementary school and I spent a lot of time with her in those days at her Laverock home. I remember when the family had an exchange student from El Salvadore live with them, already a precursor to the giving and loving nature that was so embedded in Caryn´s character. We went to Israel together at age 16 and had so many memorable and wonderful adventures there. We reconnected recently and I shared those pictures with her as we fondly relived the fun times of our youth. I was blessed to see her again fairly recently in Florida, meeting her husband, as we enjoyed a reunion of sorts with our Laverock crew. Caryn´s smile could light up a room, a rare gem of a sincere, loving, caring and beautiful person. Selfishly, I am so grateful to have spent some time with her in the last few years...it was a meaningful reconnection. I want to wish much love to her entire family. May her memory be a blessing. We are all better for having known her.

We will dearly miss this woman and being around here. She is machitanim, to me, to us who voluntarily embraced her as family and her wide, loved circle. She had a unique enthusiasm for life and a joyful love Caryn shared. Shalom. Michael & Kimberly
