Deceased Name: ROSE ANN (HANNAH ROSE) ABRAMSON

Rose Ann (Hannah Rose) Abramson, 91, died Oct. 3, 2005 in Duluth.

She was born Dec. 13, 1913 in Superior, Wisc.

Rose graduated from Central High School and attended Superior Teachers' College where she was an accomplished member of the debate team.

She was married October 3, 1935 to Dr. Leonard F. Abramson.

Rose was a member of Adas Israel Synagogue and Hadassah. She served several terms as president of the Northeast District Dental Auxiliary (formerly the Duluth District Dental Society) and was active in the Duluth Air Force Officers' Wives Club.

Rose was a gentle and kind lady who celebrated life and found joy in friendship and music. She was a pianist who loved sharing her gift of music with others, performing throughout her life. She began as an accompanist for the

Sterling Dance Studio of Superior, performed at many events over her lifetime, including the ''Save Old Central,'' a three day extravaganza promoted by Jay Lurye. Until two weeks ago, Rose held weekly sing-alongs with the residents of Westwood.

Known for her ''smile that lights up a room,'' Rose was a warm, giving person who brought joy to the lives of people of all ages. Her gentle humor, warm heart and generous spirit will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Dr. Leonard F. Abramson; parents, Israel B. and Sarah Laurie; three brothers, Sam, George and Louis Laurie; and granddaughter, Paige Yvonne Johnson.

Survivors include son, Wesley, Duluth; daughter, Marla Johnson (Dr. Robert Sorenson), Minneapolis; granddaughter, Jody Johnson; and sisters, Sadie and Edythe Laurie of Minneapolis.

SERVICES:1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, in Dougherty Funeral Home, 600 E. 2nd Street, Duluth. Interment will be at Adas Israel Cemetery, Rice Lake Township. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer memorials be made to the St. Lukes Hospital Foundation, or to a charity of the donor's choice.
