Judith H. Rosenberg age 89, passed away peacefully in her sleep surrounded by family.
Judy grew up in Newton and raised her three children in Brookline, where she was an active community member for 50 years. She spent her last decade and a half at Newbridge on the Charles in Dedham.
She graduated from Newton High School and Wheelock College in Boston. Judy began her career as a schoolteacher in Newton, and later became a community coordinator at the American Jewish Historical Society. She culminated her career making a considerable impact as a Social Worker for the State of Massachusetts where she worked for 15 years. During this time she met and eventually fostered two young adults who have meant the world to her, Gerard Henderson and Lisa Carter.
Judy was the ultimate volunteer and was passionate about people, bridge, theater, symphony, reading, and travel. She was involved in everything from Jewish Organizations and English as a second language programs to Bridge tournaments, but Judy’s biggest strength was building community both in Brookline as a town meeting member and at Newbridge on the Charles as an active resident and friend.
Additionally, Judy was a brilliant host with a revolving door of friends and strangers welcomed into her home. She maintained global friendships after hosting many international individuals and families at her home, which gave her the opportunity to visit friends all over the world. It also gave her a second family from Brazil that have added so much joy to her life.
She is preceded in death by her parents Herman J. and Helen Ruslander Haskell, her brother Richard, and her son David Rosenberg.
She is survived by her two daughters Carol Ann Callahan (David) and Linda Silverstein (Michael), her daughter in law Debra Rosenberg, and her grandchildren Allison Callahan, Josh Callahan (Nicole Lipka), Eric Silverstein, and Drew Rosenberg.
