Roslyn Monsky's Obituary
Roslyn Monsky of Portsmouth RI, formerly of Green Acres and Trinity FL, passed peacefully on October 8 at home. Roz was born on July 26, 1931, in New York City to Louis and Minnie Miller. She was the middle child in a warm and loving home. She grew up in Linden NJ and graduated from Linden High School. Roz met Bill, the love of her life on a blind date and they married in June of 1955. They celebrated 65 years of marriage before Bill’s passing. Roz relished her role as a mother to Michael and Cynthia and raised her family in Fords NJ. She served as a caretaker for her parents who lived with her family. She earned her associate’s degree in early childhood education from Middlesex County College with all A’s and just one B while raising her family and serving as a caretaker to many relatives.
Family was the center of her universe, and she loved being an aunt, great aunt, and most of all a grandmother. She was a lifelong learner and continued to take college courses well into her eighties. She loved music, reading, traveling, theater, and exploring any and every event she could attend. When she enjoyed something she wanted everyone to share the same experience.
