ROSALYN EISNER WEIN: On Mother's Day, Sunday, May 12, 2024 at age 93; it was fitting, as motherhood was Ros's greatest role. Born February 20, 1931, Ros was the beloved wife of the late Joseph Wein, of Clarion, PA 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 and 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 (fiancee 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, PA 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 2 months in Netanya, both on an army base and in the Be'eri School. Ros's last visit to Israel was 9 months after Joe's passing to attend the wedding of her oldest grandchild Ariel in Jerusalem in 2012. The family enjoyed many vacations togwether 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 2 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 thre Sisterhood and Hadassah Chapter. She als enjoyed acting in several productions of the Clarion Community Players.

In the late 1960's, Ros was very instrumental in an effort to establish the first YMCA in Clarion County. Spearheaded by Dr. William McKissick, they started a fundraising campaign and began some youth programming with the goal of eventually building an actual facility. Their dream, vision and labor of love became a reality 50 years later in February, 2019 with the opening of the new 40,000 square foot, $12 million Clarion County YMCA facility located along Mayfield Road, next to Clarion Oaks Golf Course.

Before Ros married her beloved Joe of 57 years in 1955 and moved to Clarion, she enjoyed work at both Jewish Family & Childrens Service and as assistant to the late Rabbi Solomon Freehof at Rodef Shalom Temple. 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 compassionate staff at Ahava Memory Care for their loving care of Rose (Rozie as she was affectionately known there for the past 3 years.

Services were held at Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc., Pittsburgh. Interment Beth Shalom Cemetery, Shaler Township.
