Sylvia Trautman passed away on Dec. 20, 2019 at Hebrew Home of Greater Washington after a short illness related to an infection. She was 92. She was born Sylvia Irene Shapiro on Mar. 13, 1927 in New York City, NY to a tailor and a housekeeper who immigrated to America in the early 1900s from Eastern Europe. She worked for a brief stint as a model at Gimbel’s Department Store in New York before her mother forbade her choice of profession. In 1946, she married Seymour Herman Rosen. They had two sons, David and Perry, and lived in Levittown and Plainview on Long Island, NY, where Sylvia worked as a bookkeeper and a sales clerk at Trencher’s, a local bridal store. Shortly after Seymour died in 1976, Sylvia moved to North Miami Beach, Fla. and married Victor Trautman in 1983. She worked as a sales clerk at Neiman Marcus at Bal Harbor. A number of years after Victor died, Sylvia moved in 2010 to an assisted living facility in Chevy Chase, Maryland before moving to the Hebrew Home in Rockville, MD. She is survived by David Scott Rosen of New York City, NY; Perry Mark Rosen of Washington, D.C.; two grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
