Ellen Rothschild, 94, passed peacefully at home Tuesday evening with her family by her side. The youngest of Samuel and Fannie (Spevak) Roth’s four children, she was born on February 5, 1927 in Syracuse, and lived most of her life in the area.
A graduate of Nottingham High School and Syracuse University, Ellen was a proud life-long member of Amit Women, Temple Adath Yeshurun, and the Temple Sisterhood. A role model for her children and grandchildren, Ellen was very down to earth, having a keen sense of humor, and moved with grace throughout her life. Loved by her many nieces, nephews and relatives of all generations, she became the matriarch and family historian.
Ellen was predeceased by Sidney Israel Rothschild, her beloved husband of 61 years, and their oldest son, Joel Seth Rothschild. Her family includes her children Phil (Nancy), Mark (Naomi Lokoff), and Tina (Michelle Miller), and her grandchildren Seth (Hayley), Ethan, Ariana, Aidan, Jeremy and Adam.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to Hospice of CNY for all of their assistance. Donations can be made to a charity of your choice. No flowers please.
Graveside service for the immediate family will be at Frumah Packard Cemetery. The service will be livestreamed on the Sisskind Funeral Service Facebook page beginning at 10:55AM on Friday, March 12.

Elke (as my mother and I called her) was a remarkable and loving, glass half full woman. I cherished my relationship with her as I am really not in touch with so many of the family. I would smile long after I had hung up the phone after talking to her. She was sharp as a tack and she was always a pleasure to talk to and be with. May her memory be forever for a blessing. I send sincere condolences to the family from myself, my husband and family and my sister Chana.

It is with great sadness that I am sending the family my sympathy and understanding for a very special lady. Ellen and I have known each other as long as I can remember and she lived her life with dignity and respect. Many happy memories were made being with Ellen and Sidney.

We were so sorry to hear of Ellen's passing. She was one of the Great Ladies of Amit, when we still had the organization in Syracuse. She was sweet and very funny and we all had such a great time together raising money for the schools in Israel. Our prayers are with the family at this time. Sincerely, Ceil and Lynn Cohen Dr. Phil and Milly Cohen were Lynn's parents. They were good friends with Ellen and Sid.

I was very saddened to hear of Ellen's passing. She was so lovely and fun. We had some hilarious as well as serious conversations and she has been much in my thoughts this whole last year. I was looking forward to seeing her when all of this was over. I will miss her greatly. The world loses a good spirit.
