Rose Mantelmacher, 99 passed away peacefully at home on July 9, surrounded by 14 of her family members.

For those of you who knew her, Rose was a frenetic bundle of energy who never was content just “being.” She survived the Holocaust, was a wife to Leo Mantelmacher, raised 3 children, 8 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren.

She was extremely loving, positive, generous, and took pride in family and friends’ success. She was a voracious reader, continuing to learn no matter how obscure the topic. For those of you who were fortunate to have had her feed you, she was a tornado in the kitchen, never letting anyone leave her house without a meal and care package to-go.

We are going to miss her endless advice, multiple daily phone calls always wanting to know how the family is doing and that we are all taking care of ourselves.

A funeral service was held at Kesher Israel Cemetery Chapel, 566 Oliver Drive, Harrisburg, PA 17109, followed by a graveside service at Kesher Israel Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, be like Rose and help feed someone hungry.
