Rosalind “Roddy” Pearlstein

Rosalind “Roddy” Pearlstein (Wax) of Randolph, MA passed away Thursday, June 19, 2025 at 104 years old.

She was born on January 26, 1921 to Frances and Samuel Wax and was married to the late Seymour Pearlstein on June 14, 1942.

Roddy is survived by her three daughters, Marsha Goldberg, Phyllis (Marc) Breslof, and Helaine Zonderman, four grandchildren, Jennifer Barry, Michael Goldberg, David Breslof (Lindsay Totolo), and Mara Zonderman (Sam Schneider), and seven cherished great-grandchildren, Alix Barry, Sara Barry, AJ Barranco, Ari Schneider, Ezra Schneider, Rose Fullam, and Eleanore Breslof.

A lifelong Massachusetts resident, Roddy’s love of the Red Sox came in second only to her love for her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Roddy excelled at word games and loved to play cards. She was a lifelong learner and avid reader and enjoyed sharing her love of books with her friends and family. She always knew where the nearest source of coffee ice cream and chocolate could be found.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her partner of 11 years, Al Miller, her dear sisters Barbara Kraft and Sunny Hunker, and her beloved granddaughter Lauren Beth Breslof.

A graveside service will be held on Monday, June 23 at 9:45am at Sharon Memorial Park.
