Myra Patricia Rosen Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Myra Rosen, 69, of Asheville died on Wednesday, July 5, 2017 at the Elizabeth House following a courageous battle of declining health. Myra’s passing was much as she had lived her life… without compromise. A native of New York, New York, she was daughter of the late Joseph and Irene Wagner. Her sister, Linda, also preceded her in death. Myra met the love of her life, Marvin “Marv” Rosen while they were attending the New School for Social Research in New York. They married on September 12, 1971. They spent four years at the University of Miami before they moved to Asheville, North Carolina where they remained for 41 years. A dedicated nurse for over thirty years, Myra was selfless, deeply spiritual, enjoyed life, and loved giving to others. She was always more concerned with people’s character and values rather than superficial traits. Myra was also passionate about her garden, camping and her family. With a deep ability to take complex things and make them simple to understand, she was a strong advocate and fighter for what she believed in. She had several lifelong friends with whom she loved spending time. Whatever the occasion, Myra could be the life of the party as well as a good listener. She loved life, the beach and her pets. Myra lived her life as though it mattered… And, it always did. She enjoyed and deeply loved her family and they deeply loved her. She will be missed. Her survivors include her husband of 45 years, Marv Rosen; children, Eric, Brad and Joey; daughters-in-law, Liz, Sara and Vanessa and grandchildren, Zach. Emma and Judah. A celebration of life service will be scheduled toward the end of August and more information will be forthcoming.
