OBITUARY
The Cohen family is sad to announce the passing of Murray Cohen, age 80 in Atlanta, Georgia. He passed away at his home, surrounded by his immediate family after enduring Lewy body dementia. Murray was born in Montreal, Canada and lived there until 1977, when he moved to Atlanta with his wife, Roz, and daughters, Elana and Pamela.
Murray had many talents that he was always willing to share with his family and friends. He was an expert in anything mechanical or construction related. He wholeheartedly volunteered his time and talents to many organizations, including The Epstein School, the Dorothy C. Benson Center, Woodland Forest subdivision, and many others. He was the first person to be called for advice and assistance whenever family or friends needed help with anything from fixing a car to building a deck. He arrived with everything needed to tackle a problem, whatever it was, and didn’t leave until everything was fixed to his standards.
Murray loved animals, and throughout his life had a special connection with all of our family pets. When he was young, Murray would bring stray dogs, cats, and even ducks and snakes home. Weekends spent at the family lake-house, which he built, would be filled with a cacophony of laughter and barking dogs.
He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 59 years (to the day), Rosalyn (Roz) Horovitch Cohen, daughters, Elana Cohen Yoels (Matthew), Pamela Cohen (Steven Fineberg), grandchildren, Sophie Fineberg, Bailee Yoels, Molly Yoels, Scott Fineberg, Levi Fineberg, Camille Yoels, and Brandon Yoels, sister Mildred Cohen Handelman (Oscar), and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Sophie Schacter Cohen and Max Cohen.
