KRUPP--Rosalind Mehr,

of Verona, North Caldwell and Maplewood, NJ, born March 20, 1920 in New York City, died on February 5, 2016. She married Arthur Louis Krupp in 1942, and enjoyed a loving marriage for over 70 years until his death in May of 2013. She was predeceased by beloved brothers and sisters, Stan Mehr, Seymour Mehr, Gloria Bass, Rhoda Young and her grandson Josh Krupp. She is survived by her sons, Jan Krupp (Jan) of Napa, California, Bart Krupp (Pat) of Montclair, NJ, and Fred Krupp (Laurie Devitt) of Norwalk, CT, as well as her grandchildren Edward (Monika) and Staci Krupp (Grant Gerber), Sarah (Marcus Young) and Marcus Krupp, and Alex (Casey Hallen), Zach (Heidi) and Jackson Krupp, as well as great-grandchildren Emma, Phillip and Nathan Krupp, Estelle and Max Gerber. Rosalind graduated from Hunter College and received a Masters degree in History from Montclair State College. For many years she thrived teaching history at Verona High School, and then adult education. She was an avid gardener, and always enjoyed reading, whether The New York Times or a good history book. In later years she was often delighted to hear from former students who told her of the impact she had on their lives by inspiring them to believe in their own abilities. A graveside service will be held at noon on February 7 at Menorah Cemetery, 601 Passaic Ave, Clifton NJ, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a contribution to the cause of your choice.
