Rosalie Hartmann Rosenfelt, longtime Albuquerque resident, passed away on September 4, 2004 at Presbyterian Hospital. She was 89. Rosalie Rosenfelt grew up in the Boston suburb of Newton, MA. She graduated from Chestnut Hill's Beaver Country Day School in 1932 and Radcliffe College in 1936. She married Mark Rosenfelt in 1938 and raised three children in Newton. Rosalie Rosenfelt earned a Master's Degree in Psychology from Boston University and went on to practice counseling psychology for the State of Massachusetts from 1959 to 1966 and the State of California from 1966 to 1973. With a sense of adventure, she moved to Australia in 1973, where for eight years she worked as a psychologist and taught social work. She returned from Australia in 1982 and retired to Rio Rancho, NM. In 1986 she moved to Albuquerque and, since 1994, has resided at the La Vida Llena Retirement Home. Rosalie Rosenfelt was an accomplished amateur violinist. In later years she turned her energy to painting in an eclectic mode using acrylics and watercolors. Her work was widely exhibited. She traveled throughout the world and spoke several languages. Rosalie Rosenfelt is survived by three children: Daniel M. Rosenfelt and his wife, Viola Martinez of Albuquerque, Joan C. Rosenfelt of New York City, and Susanna Des Jardien and her husband, Kent of Rio Rancho. She leaves three grandchildren and a great-granddaughter. The family will hold a private memorial service and asks that no flowers be sent. Instead, donations may be made to the Anti-Defamation League, The Southern Poverty Law Center or any charity of the sender's choice.
