Rosalyn Eisner Wein
WEIN: Rosalyn Eisner Wein, on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12, 2024; it was fitting, as motherhood was Ros’s greatest role. Beloved wife of the late Joseph Wein of Clarion, Pennsylvania, and Pittsburgh. Daughter of the late Louis and Ethel Rabinovitz Eisner; loving mother of Cheryl (David) Weisberg, Tedd (Ellen Goldhagen) and Alisa (Robbie) Oppenheim. Sister of Jay Eisner; preceded in death by the late Samuel Eisner. Devoted grandmother of Ariel “Lee” (Talia) Weisberg, Elana (Kirsten Opstad) Weisberg, Robin (Chris) Shoemaker, Amy Wein, Michael and Sari Oppenheim (fiancé Jacob Horvitz); great-grandmother of Ora, Yosef and Avi Weisberg, Sycamore Hart Opstad Weisberg and Sophie Shoemaker. Also survived by loving nieces, nephews, beloved cousins and many close friends. Rosalyn lived in Clarion for 32 years, where she raised her family. She loved cooking, gardening, entertaining and traveling with her husband and family. In 1968, Ros and Joe made their first of many trips to Israel where there was a large extended Wein family. In 1992 she and Joe proudly volunteered in the Sar-El Program for two months in Netanya, both on an army base and in the Be’eri School. Ros’ last visit to Israel was nine months after Joe’s passing to attend the wedding of her oldest grandchild, Ariel, in Jerusalem, almost 13 years ago. The family enjoyed many vacations together including summer picnics at Cook Forest and many wonderful summers at Chautauqua Lake. Ros was a proud lifetime member of Hadassah and gave that same gift to her two daughters and oldest granddaughter. She was an active and passionate leader and president of many civic and Jewish organizations in both Clarion and Pittsburgh, including participating in the adult b’nai mitzvah program at Temple Sinai. While in Clarion she served as president of both The Clarion Civic Club and Clarion Hospital Guild. Ros was also very active in the Oil City Tree of Life Synagogue as president of both the Sisterhood and Hadassah chapter. She also enjoyed acting in several productions of the Clarion Community Players. Before Ros married her beloved Joe of 57 years in 1955 and moved to Clarion, she enjoyed working at both JFCS and as assistant to the late Rabbi Solomon Freehof at Rodef Shalom. It was during this time that Ros would begin to develop and nourish many friendships that would last a lifetime. She will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and her ability to connect with young and old alike. The family would like to thank the caring staff at Ahava Memory Care for their loving care of Ros (“Rozie,” as she was affectionately known there for the past three years). Services were held at Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc. Interment Beth Shalom Cemetery. schugar.com PJC
