Loving mother of Michelle (Steven Kremer) Jacobson, David (Iris) Jacobson and the late Michael Jacobson. Proud grandmother of Meryl (John) Duguay, Jacob Kremer, Benjamin (Isabelle) and Zachary Jacobson, Talia, Gabriel and Ruby-Sage Jacobson. Great grandmother of Ella.

Dear sister of Betty (the late Jay) Magidman, Phyllis (the late Paul) Browne and the late Marsha Rosenbaum and sister in-law of Donald and Phyllis Rosenbaum, Lila and the late Gerald Berg, Wayne and Gloria Jacobson and the late Alice Yablin. She was a loyal friend and loving aunt. Rosalind loved taking care of her family and was an active community volunteer in every place she lived. She truly enjoyed sharing her time and talents with those who could use a helping hand. She was filled with love of song, enjoyed cooking, baking, sharing and enjoyed a good belly laugh. Later in life, as she needed assistance, she received outstanding care at the Lieberman Center for Health and Rehabilitation and enjoyed a wonderful quality of life when she lived at Park Plaza.

To the Jacobson Family,

Our sincere condolences to my families oldest and closest friends, the Jacobsons. I remember time spent with Roz and family all the way back to the ground floor apartments (4-plex - end apartment) at Hillcrest Manor from 1961 - the 70's and Gilbert Road after that! Roz was always so generous and gracious with her affections and hospitality and always smiling and good natured. Roz and my mother Dawn lived for the joint birthday parties!! A real mensch, wonderful and happy memories and a one of a kind lady.
We love you Roz.
Love,
The Pozefskys
