Rose Sinkin, born March 10, 1915 in St. Louis, Missouri to Morris and Bessie Adler passed away peacefully on October 8, 2013 with her family by her side at the age of 98. She was a woman ahead of her times. Rose enjoyed many accomplishments in her life. At the young age of 15, she competed as the #1 ranked Tennis player for the State of Missouri in the U.S. Open. She was a graduate of Washington University with a Chemistry degree with honors, graduating at the top of her class. She later attended Columbia University Graduate School. She moved to San Antonio when she married her husband of 44 years, Sam Sinkin, who proceeded her in death. They shared mutual interests in business, philanthropy and politics. They strongly believed in civil rights and had one of the very first factories to be integrated in San Antonio. Rose became the founder and owner of an independent manufacturing company in San Antonio dedicated to ladies sportswear and also owned three retail stores. Sam and Rose lovingly and proudly had three children: Nancy Kolben, Judy Sinkin and Steven Sinkin; followed by the welcoming of their grandchildren Kevin Kolben, Deborah Kolben and Sam Sinkin and great-grandchildren: Mika Beckerman, Romi Beckerman, Avigayil Kolben and Kris Sinkin. Throughout her life, Rose engaged herself in several Philanthropic organizations that fostered causes in which she strongly believed. Whatever she became involved in she was determined to see it through to success. Prior to and following retirement, she enjoyed mentoring and tutoring children in mathematics. She remained independent and self sufficient her entire life, and spent time doing all of the things she enjoyed, such as traveling, collecting art from around the world, sharing in her family's life and remaining conscious of all World Affairs. She will be deeply missed by those she touched and those she inspired.
