Adele M. Rose
November 24, 1922 - January 14, 2017
Adele Rose, 94, of Asheville, passed away on January 14, 2017, after several months of declining health. Born in 1922, Adele grew up in Brooklyn, a point of great pride, as was her decades-long career as an elementary school teacher. She inspired her young students’ love of learning, and, especially, of music. A lifelong learner, Adele was still taking yoga and piano lessons until her illness, and had begun to study Yiddish. Admired for her curious mind, fashionable attire, and pistachio cake, Adele was smart, irreverent, a lively raconteur, and a music lover. An Asheville resident for 30 years, Adele was active in the Jewish community. She celebrated her 85th birthday in 2007 with her Bat Mitzvah ceremony. Adele had two siblings, Larry and Natalie, and is survived by her three sons, Michael, Douglas (Ten), and Richard. A memorial service will be held at Congregation Beth Israel, 229 Murdock Ave, on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, at 3 pm.
