Interment was held at Adat Shalom Memorial Park Cemetery in Livonia. Arrangements by Hebrew Memorial Chapel. Harris ROSALIND HARRIS, of Worcester, Mass. Her family feels that if we are greeted by loved ones when we pass, there will be a lot of hugging, tail-wagging and purring. They concede that it is impossible to encapsulate the legacy of an extraordinary soul in a few short paragraphs, and they note that Rosalind Harris was a soul whose life tilted the world's axis toward the kinder and gentler. If she had kept a social media page since high school, you'd see that she was a Cub Scout den leader, a Sunday school teacher and the executive secre- tary for the Oak Park School District's superintendent. Upon retirement, she served as the president of the Agudas Israel Congregation in Hendersonville, N.C., and a volunteer for Pardee Hospitals. There would be lamentations about the Red Sox and the Spartans and clever ironic asides about life's absurdi- ties. Her profile would contain pictures of her travels, her grandkids and the numerous cats and dogs that she'd res- cued and rehabilitated. There would also be pictures of vegetarian dishes she'd prepared and photos from loved ones of her beautiful smiles and her whimsical "goofy faces." Proudly a mother of Scott and Brian Harris; a grandmother of Madison, Morgan, Sawyer and Alec Harris, and Kei Carter; a mother-in-law of Tracy Howell and Marcia Conder; a sister to William Rosen; and a dear friend to many, she was also a splendidly independent and unique, selfless indi- vidual. Before her passing, Mrs. Harris had to say goodbye to her husband of 49 years, Sydney Harris; her parents, Murray and Ethel Rosen; and her daughter-in-law, Deborah Krantz.

She was the devoted daughter of the late Mary and the late Ben Solomon; dear sister of the late Sylvia and the late Irwin Kramer, and the late Bernard and Estelle Seltzer; special aunt to the late Howard and Linda Kramer, Eileen Blain and Margie and Stephen Briskin.
