Rosalind Wolfson Gingold, 94, died peacefully on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at Menorah Park. A life resident of Syracuse, she had lived at the Oaks of Dewitt since 2009. Roz was born March 2, 1921 in Syracuse, NY to Meyer and Rachel Rothman. She was a graduate of Nottingham High School and the Community General School of Nursing.

She was a member of Lafayette Country Club and the Cavalry Club; loved to play golf; enjoyed gardening; and was also an avid Syracuse University football and basketball fan and rarely missed attending a SU home football game.
