Rosalie Levine, of Skillman, died on April 29, a week after her 88th birthday. She was predeceased by her beloved brother Bill Bernstein and sister Isabel Rader. She is survived by Ted Levine, her loving and devoted husband of 62 years, her daughter Carol (Tim), her sons Alex (Joyce) and Jim (Lisa), seven adoring grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and friends and relatives around the country.
Rosalie was a whirlwind at work and at home. A graduate of Erasmus Hall High School and Brooklyn College, she took great pride in being Professor Harold Groves’ first female Ph.D. student in the Economics Department at the University of Wisconsin. She went on to a long career at C.W. Post College, where she was a superb teacher, an able and farsighted administrator, and a respected mentor.
She moved to Princeton with her husband in 2002 where, in addition to volunteering in various capacities, she audited classes at the University and was a regular at the McCarter Theater, Richardson Auditorium, Montgomery Cinema, and her grandchildren’s school concerts. She made frequent excursions to New York, enjoying restaurants, museums, theater and the New York City Ballet. Up to a few days before her passing, her home remained the site of holiday celebrations attended by her large extended family, to which she was very devoted. She will be remembered fondly and missed terribly.
