SHULGOLD NELLIE ZELMA (JONAS) Died at RiverWoods Retirement Community in Exeter, NH on July 13, 2014, two days after her 101st birthday. She was born in Pittsburgh, PA on July 11, 1913, to Rose (Berkowitz) and Simon Jonas. Nellie was confirmed in the Jewish faith at Rodef Shalom Temple in 1927. Following graduation from the Fifth Avenue High School, she attended the University of Pittsburgh and completed her undergraduate degree in social work at the Margaret Morrison School for Women (Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh, PA, graduating in 1935. She worked at the Jewish Family and Children's Service Bureau in Pittsburgh where she did foster home and adoption placement from 1935 to 1939. In the 1970s, she returned to school to become a certified elementary school teacher through Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA. Nellie married Harry Rubens of Cleveland, Ohio in 1937.

At the age of 80, she moved to RiverWoods Retirement Community in Exeter, NH, when it opened in 1993 to be closer to her granddaughters and watch them grow up. While at RiverWoods, Nellie continued her volunteer tradition by starting and organizing numerous activities. This included weekly sing-a-longs for the residents of the nursing facility as well as bi-monthly sing-a-longs for the independent residents.

ZAWROTNY MATILDA MILLY MATIL...
ZAWROTNY MATILDA MILLY Matilda Zawrotny was born in London, England, to Earnest and Millie (Waterman) Mills on April 4, 1925. Milly grew up in the East End of London. Then, to escape The Blitz bombing during World War II, she moved to the small town of Letchworth, north of London. There she did war work at a local factory. Milly loved to jitterbug and one fateful night, went to a USO dance filled with American service men. There she met her future husband, Raymond Zawrotny, who shared her love of dancing. They married in England, and after the war, Milly moved to the West End of Pittsburgh to start their family. In 1955, Milly and Ray bought their first (and only) house in Irwin, PA, where they raised their three children. Milly is survived by her children, David (Kathy) Zawrotny (Canonsburg), Jeanine Smolarek (Pittsburgh), and Michele (Ron) Klingensmith (Trafford); as well as six grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Milly was preceded in death by her sister and brother in England (Rose Taylor and Charles Mills). She was also preceded in death late last year by her beloved sister, Jeannette Canterna, who also moved here from England and lived nearby in Irwin with her husband, Bill Canterna. She is survived by her brother, Martin Mills, who lives with his wife, Julie in England. Milly loved to swing dance, sit on the beach at the Jersey Shore, read, watch movies, play the slots, and especially play cards and go shopping. She had a flair for art and creativity, which she passed on to several of her grandchildren. Milly was a happy-go-lucky, live-for- the-moment kind of person, which garnered her many friends, including many in the area branch of the British Brides and Parents Transatlantic Association, affectionately known as "The English Girls Club". Milly was a loving wife, who devoted several of her later years to taking care of her husband who suffered from dementia and passed away in 2009. Unfortunately, Milly herself later developed dementia and was living at the Arden Courts Memory Care home in Monroeville, where she received wonderful loving care, for which the family is extremely grateful. Milly enjoyed life even in her later years. As late as last year, her daughter Jeanine, also a swing dancer, took her many times to dance at Swing City on Saturday nights, where she danced every dance up until midnight. Even after she could no longer go to the dance, the dance came to her--a volunteer group of dancers from Swing City, called the Hep Kats, came to her home at Arden several times and put on swing dances for the residents. She loved to be the center of attention, dancing every song. Sadly, she recently broke her hip, and her dancing days were over. The injury proved too much for her, and she passed away on July 14, 2014, leaving her family and many friends with happy memories of her cheerful personality and wonderful sense of humor. Friends and family will be received from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, and 2 to 4 p.m. Friday at the WILLIAM SNYDER FUNERAL HOME, INC., 521 Main Street, Irwin, 724-863-1200, were everyone will gather at noon on Saturday for a Funeral Service.
