Roslyn (Jacobson) Borchew Obituary

Roslyn Borchew nee Jacobson beloved wife of the late Irwin William Borchew. Loving mother of Gail (Matthew) Schuck and Linda (Jen Snyder) Borchew. Cherished grandmother of Beth (Louis) Klieger, Eli Schuck and Dagan Borchew. Adored great grandmother of Greysen Klieger. Dear sister of Norman (the late Reesa) Jacobson. Fond aunt, cousin, and friend of many. Roslyn began her career as an x-ray tech, shortly thereafter marrying the love of her life, Irwin. Her true calling was staying at home caring for her 2 daughters, Gail and Linda. With almost 16 years between them Roz maintained the home for many decades. She re-entered the health care field in her later years working at a doctor’s office. She was an avid knitter, crocheter, sewer, floral arranger, reader and shopper. She was a fierce friend who loved unconditionally. She never meet a stranger, immediately immersed in others’ lives and stories remembering every detail as of the utmost importance thriving on the human connection. She was always there when you needed her selflessly sacrificing for the needs of her family and friends. Roz was a warrior surviving multiple bouts with cancer. She taught all who were blessed to cross her path to love fiercely, enjoy small moments and cherish those around you. As the proud matriarch of the family she will be greatly missed as we carry on her legacy. Graveside services Monday 1:30 PM at Shalom Memorial Park, 1700 Rand Rd., Arlington Heights, IL. Family and friends that cannot attend may watch the services live or any time after on Roslyn’s webpage at www.NTFunerals.com. In lieu of flowers remembrances to Northbrook Community Synagogue, Feed-A-Family-Project, would be appreciated. Arrangements by Ner Tamid Funerals, 847-504-7336
