Lisa Starr Rosenstein

Lisa Starr Rosenstein, age 53, passed away on May 2, 2021. She was born on September 28, 1967 to David and Arlene Starr, in New York, New York. She became a Texan in 1985 when the Starr family relocated to San Antonio. She attended the University of Texas at Austin, graduating with a degree in education in 1989.

In 1993, Lisa married Alan Rosenstein. Together, they had two treasured children, Emma and Nathan. She was active in her children’s schools, the community, the NY Roadrunners, and her synagogues, Congregation Rodfei Sholom and Congregation Beth El. She became a long-distance runner and took great pride in having completed 27 marathons in the last few years, her all-time favorite being the New York Marathon.

Lisa was tough on the outside with a heart of gold inside. She always thought of others and did her good deeds without fanfare or recognition. She did not believe in “fair-weather” friends – she wanted and fostered only the most genuine, deep, long-lasting friendships.

More than anything in the world, Lisa loved her family. She is survived by her parents, David and Arlene Starr, her husband of nearly 28 years, Alan Rosenstein, her children, Emma and Nathan, her brothers, Matthew Starr and Jonathan (Julie) Starr, her mother-in-law, Bea and

the late Morris Rosenstein, her sisters-in-law Beverly Barshop and Sylvia (Charles) Dauber, her brother-in-law, Stuart Rosenstein, her nieces and nephews, Jacob, Justin, Sophie, Hallie and Harper Starr, Kenneth (Carolyn), Jonathan, and Alex Barshop, and Matthew, Benjamin, and Lauren Dauber, as well as countless relatives and friends across the country. She was loved and will be greatly missed by all.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, May 5th at 11:00 a.m. at Agudas Achim Memorial Gardens, 1727 Austin Highway, San Antonio.
