January 5, 1936 - February 7, 2026

Paid Notice: Rochelle M. Rosenberg was “one of a kind,” a true pathfinder in the world of advertising in New York City during the heyday of Madison Avenue. There she met her husband, Arnold, a commercial photographer and apprentice of Irving Penn.

They lived a full life on their own terms. Rochelle’s final years were in Harrisburg in the care of her sister, Claudia and husband, Marty. Before moving to Pennsylvania., she had lived in Bridgehampton and East Hampton.

Rest in peace, dear Rochelle, until we meet again.

Funeral service details will be posted at the convenience of the family. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Jesse H. Geigle Funeral Home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A funeral will be held at Shaarey Pardes Accabonac Grove Cemetery at 306 Old Stone Highway in Springs on May 7 at 11:30 a.m.
