ROSENHECK
DIED AUGUST 23, 1968
AGE 61 YEARS 

Ruth (also known as Rae) Garber Rosenheck was the eldest child of Nathan and Yetta Garber. She was born 20 July 1907 in Labun, Volhynia Gubernia, Russian Empire. [1] 

Her father Nathan landed in the United States on 18 June 1910. [2] Ruth, her mother Yetta, and her sister Lillian followed on the Birma on 2 September 1912. [3] Nathan's younger brother Jankel (my grandfather Jack Garber) accompanied them on the voyage.

Ruth married David Rosenheck and had two children: Susan Rosenheck Herman (23 February 1940 - 17 May 2003) and Jay Rosenheck.

Ruth is buried in the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plot in Montefiore Cemetery, Queens, New York, Block 5, Gate 567W, Line 28, Grave 4.
