Screenshot from Twitter. Rose Mallinger, 97, was the last of the 11 Pittsburgh shooting victims to be laid to rest on Friday.
Mallinger was described as a youthful 97-year-old, being full of life and energy and a regular at Tree of Life synagogue, where the shooting occurred.
“Her involvement with the synagogue went beyond the Jewish religion,” Mallinger’s family said in a statement. “… It was her place to be social, to be active and to meet family and friends.”
“She retained her sharp wit, humor and intelligence until the very last day She did everything she wanted to do in her life.”
Mallinger leaves behind three children, five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. Her daughter, Andrea Wedner, 61, was wounded in the shooting. She is currently in stable condition.
