Eileen Rosen's Obituary
Eileen Rosen passed away Wednesday, December 23, 2020 at age of 87 at Aventura, FL. A Brooklyn, NY native, as "the law" required of all New York Jews, she moved with her husband, Nathan (a women's clothing manufacturer), and her 2 sons, Josh and Scott, to N. Miami in 1965. Though we tried, eventually all the rest of the family found us and followed suit …..
After Nathan's passing in 1981, she raised her boys alone, turning them both into college graduates, professionals and (arguably) good citizens. Mom never remarried after Dad's passing (though she did go on an "appointment" or two now and again….) and lived in Aventura the rest of her life. Though spending her time between '65 and '81 as a stay at home mom, she wasn't adverse to work (not that being a "stay at home mom" isn't work….) as shortly after Nathan's passing, she began working at Lord & Taylor in the Aventura Mall. She worked there from the day it opened 'till the day it closed and also worked at other retail stores in the same mall for a while thereafter. If we ever were visiting her at the mall, we'd always hear from customers about how great our Mom was. We'd hear stories from co-workers about how customers would come in to shop and when they'd find out Mom wasn't there, they'd leave and come back when she was - who does that?
Mom loved, and was loved by, her 2 sons, Josh and Scott, her grandchildren, Christopher, Jonathan, Zachary and Madison, and her daughters-in-law, Maria and Lisette - and, we believe, was loved by almost everyone who ever knew or met her.
Graveside services will be at Menorah Gardens, 21100 Griffin Road, Southwest Ranches, FL 33332, on Sunday, December 27, 2020 at 12:30 p.m.
