Dr. Betsy Rosenwasser Dr. Betsy Jo Rosenwasser of Kent was a dedicated professional who took a personal interest in the welfare of others. Even as she fought her own battle with acute leukemia, Dr. Rosenwasser continued to reach out to people with health problems, offering them her assistance and counsel. Dr. Rosenwasser's fight for her life ended Saturday at University Hospital in Cleveland, where she had been undergoing treatment. She was 42. Dr. Rosenwasser, who was an Emergency Department physician at Robinson Memorial Hospital in Ravenna for much of the 1990s, was the wife of Dr. Alan Rosenwasser, an obstetrician and gynecologist.

The first was for the re-occurrence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with which she had been diagnosed in 1995. The disease is a cancer that effectively destroys the body's lymphatic system. After her treatment in 1995, Dr. Rosenwasser was able to resume her medical work and rear her son, Max, and daughter, Claire. Her symptoms returned in the spring of 1997 and she underwent her first bone marrow transplant at that time. She underwent a second transplant earlier this year. Dr. Rosenwasser was held in such esteem by her co-workers at Robinson Memorial Hospital that several volunteered to take turns driving her to Cleveland for her treatment, up to five times a week. She talked about how battling health problems affected her attitude toward patients and friends with cancer in an article which appeared in the Cleveland Jewish News in 1997. "I thought I understood until it was me," she said. "Then I realized that every moment is precious. The moment is now ... I try to find joy in each day." Dr. Rosenwasser was a graduate of Case Western Reserve Medical School in Cleveland after completing pre-med at the University of Cincinnati. She earned a degree in elementary education at Ohio State University after graduating from Eastmoor High School in Columbus.

Irene Hungerford, 101 The tapestry of S. Irene Hungerford's life was as rich as the beautiful works she enjoyed weaving. Mrs. Hungerford, who died Tuesday at Akron City Hospital at 101, was a firm believer in keeping her hands and mind busy and remained active well after her 100th birthday, which she celebrated with a trip to England and Wales. Sarah Irene Prichard Hungerford was the first of six children born to Dr. L.W. and Bertha Prichard of Ravenna. Her father was "an old-fashioned family doctor who made house calls," she recalled in a memoir, and as the oldest child she helped her mother rear her siblings. She graduated as valedictorian of her Ravenna High School class and went on to Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, where she earned her nursing degree in 1921. She worked as a visiting nurse in Cleveland before going to Oberlin College, where she earned her undergraduate degree. While attending Oberlin, she met Harlan Hungerford, her future husband. They settled in Kent when he joined the English faculty at Kent State University. They had a son, Dick and a daughter, Sue (Seely). The family lived on Crain Avenue for many years. During World War II, she discovered a talent for the textile arts that she nurtured for more than 50 years. A friend whose husband was serving overseas wanted to weave a scarf for the serviceman and asked Mrs. Hungerford to join her in a weaving class at Kent State University. Although it was a busy time in her life, "finally, I gave in," she recalled. "I was immediately hooked." Nina Humphrey, the head of the KSU art department, took her under her wing and encouraged her talent. She joined the Kent Weavers Guild shortly after it was formed in 1946, and became so proficient at weaving that she filled in for her teacher in her absence. She also taught weaving at Happy Day School for several years. She later began an interest group of faculty wives who came to be called the Barn Weavers. The group took its name from a studio which her husband created in a barn at their home, and met there every Wednesday night for many years until the Hungerfords moved to Stow-Glen Retirement Village in Stow in 1989. Although she was modest about her work, her students were amazed at how quickly she was able to plan and complete projects. Her work was richly varied, prolific and professional in quality. "I never specialized or entered competition. There were so many things to learn," she said. One of her largest woven works is the curtain covering the organ pipes behind the cross at the United Church of Christ in Kent. She researched the acoustical properties of various fibers and participated in the installation of the work. She wove a liturgical stole for a friend, then received requests for 20 more. At age 95, she wove a set for Salisbury Cathedral in England. As her family grew, she enjoyed weaving blankets for each of her grandchildren, including some made from her own homespun alpaca. She also made blankets for her great-grandchildren. Despite failing eyesight, she wove placemats after her 100th birthday and also knit lap robes for the assisted living facility at Stow-Glen. Her "third love" - after her family and weaving - was travel. She took her first textile tour when she was in her 60s. Her travels included a tour of Scandinavia and she especially cherished a trip to England and Wales wither her granddaughter, Ellen Fogerty, and a friend, Sally Crane, which she took when she was 100 years old. The visit included a trip to the Hungerford family home. Services will be announced. Arrangements are being handled by Bissler & Sons Funeral Home in Kent.
